The Myriad Of Symptoms Of Rectocele You Should Know About
A rectocele or posterior (hind) vaginal wall prolapse is a medical disorder in which there is a protruding of the front wall of the rectum (the last portion of the large bowel) into the back of the vagina. A rectocele befalls because of the weakening of the wall between the rectum and the vagina (the rectovaginal septum). This causes a protuberance or herniation which might progress with time. A rectocele might happen because of quite a lot of reasons like:
- Aging
- Several vaginal deliveries
- Trauma during childbirth because of the ripping of the pelvic tissue or the usage of forceps or vacuum during delivery
- Chronic (long-term) constipation related with straining during bowel movements
- Several surgeries in the pelvic area like surgeries on the vagina or the rectum
- Lifting heavyweights
- Being overweight or obese
- Chronic cough
The symptoms of a rectocele might consist of rectal and vaginal symptoms like:
- Trouble in having a bowel movement
- Sensation of the incomplete evacuating rectum after a bowel movement
- Rectal compression or fullness
- Fecal incontinence (unrestrained passage of stools) and smearing
- Rectal pain
- A feeling of protuberance or fullness in the vagina
- There might be inflammation or tissue protruding out of the vagina
- Vaginal bleeding
- Discomposure during sexual intercourse
- Feeling of reduced vaginal tone
- Vaginal pain or discomposure
You can opt for rectocele treatment without surgery i.e. via herbal medicines.
