When to seek medical advice

By Mayo Clinic staff

If you have a mild enterocele, you may have no signs or symptoms and require no medical attention. See your doctor if you develop:

  • A sense of pulling in your pelvis or low back pain that worsens with prolonged standing and eases when you lie down
  • A feeling of pelvic fullness, pressure or pain
  • A soft bulge of tissue in your vagina
  • Vaginal bleeding
  • Painful intercourse
