Pelvic Prolapse: Diagnosing and Treating Cystoceles, Rectoceles, and Enteroceles Diagnosing and Treating a Cystocele Simply defined, a cystocele is a protrusion of the bladder into the vagina due to defects in pelvic support (Fig. 1). The radiographic definition of a cystocele is descent of the bladder base below the inferior margin of the symphysis pubis.

Overview Cystocele. A dropped or prolapsed bladder (cystocele) occurs when the bladder wall bulges into the vaginal space. It results when supporting muscles and tissues for the bladder give way. Your pelvic floor consists of muscles, ligaments and connective tissues that support your bladder and other pelvic organs. The connections between your pelvic floor muscles and ligaments can weaken over time, as a result of trauma from childbirth or chronic straining of pelvic floor muscles.

- Colporrhaphy is the surgical repair of a defect in the vaginal wall, including a cystocele (when the bladder protrudes into the vagina) and a rectocele (when the rectum protrudes into the vagina). In this anterior colporrhaphy, a speculum is used to hold open the vagina, and the cystocele is visualized (A). The wall of the vagina is cut open to reveal an opening in the supporting structures, or fascia (B). The defect is closed (C), and the vaginal skin is repaired (D).

Cystocele (Fallen Bladder) This operation may be performed by a gynecologist, a urologist, or a urogynecologist. The most common procedure for cystocele repair is for the surgeon to make an incision in the wall of the vagina and repair the area by tightening the layers of tissue that separate the organs, creating more support for the bladder.

Hydrocele A hydrocele is a sac filled with fluid that forms around a testicle. Hydroceles are most common in babies. According to the Official Foundation of the American Urological Association, nearly 10 percent of males are born with a hydrocele. However, they can affect males of any age.

Overview Anterior prolapse, also known as a cystocele (SIS-toe-seel), occurs when the supportive tissue between a woman's bladder and vaginal wall weakens and stretches, allowing the bladder to bulge into the vagina. Anterior prolapse is also called a prolapsed bladder. Straining the muscles that support your pelvic organs may lead to anterior prolapse.

Rectocele Summary. 1  Some of the causes of a rectocele include vaginal childbirth, hysterectomy, pelvic surgery and chronic constipation. 2  A rectocele may occur by itself or present alongside other pelvic abnormalities, such as a prolapsed bladder (cystocele). 3  Surgery may be needed if the rectocele doesn’t respond to simpler treatments.

Cystocele (Fallen Bladder) A cystocele is mild (grade 1) when the bladder droops only a short way into the vagina. With more severe (grade 2) cystocele, the bladder sinks far enough to reach the opening of the vagina.he most advanced (grade 3) cystocele occurs when the bladder bulges out through the opening of the vagina. A doctor may be able to diagnose a grade 2 or 3 cystocele from a description of symptoms and from physical examination of the vagina because the fallen part of the bladder will be visible.

Vaginal Prolapse Repair - Cystocele, Rectocele and Enterocele Repair Uterine prolapse occurs when the supporting ring at the top of the vagina is damaged. Uterine prolapse often is associated with a cystocele because the upper support of the bladder is the cervix. A fallen bladder is called a cystocele. There are two basic types.

- A hydrocele is a painless buildup of watery fluid around one or both testicles that causes the scrotum or groin area to swell. This swelling may be unsightly and uncomfortable, but it usually is not painful and generally is not dangerous.

- Key points about cystocele. 1  A cystocele is when the wall between the bladder and the vagina weakens. This can cause the bladder to drop or sag into the vagina. 2  It may be caused by things that increase pressure on the pelvic muscles. 3  Treatment depends on the severity of the cystocele.

Overview A varicocele (VAR-ih-koe-seel) is an enlargement of the veins within the loose bag of skin that holds your testicles (scrotum). A varicocele is similar to a varicose vein that can occur in your leg. Varicoceles are a common cause of low sperm production and decreased sperm quality, which can cause infertility. However, not all varicoceles affect sperm production. Varicoceles can also cause testicles to fail to develop normally or shrink.

Repair of Rectocele or Enterocele Pelvic organ prolapse is often caused or made worse by labor and vaginal delivery, so you may want to delay surgical repair until you have finished having children. Surgical repair may relieve some, but not all, of the problems caused by a cystocele or urethrocele. If pelvic pain, low back pain, or pain with intercourse is present before surgery, the pain may still occur after surgery. Symptoms of urinary incontinence or retention may return or get worse following surgery.

What is a hydrocele? A hydrocele is a collection of fluid in the scrotum, surrounding the testicle, which can occur on one or both sides.The fluid will make your son’s scrotum look swollen or enlarged, but hydroceles are usually painless. hydrocele of the cord occurs when the sac closes but fluid is trapped within the spermatic cord. The spermatic cord is connected to the testicle. It contains blood vessels, nerves and a tube that carries sperm called the vas deferens. Hydroceles are diagnosed by a thorough health history and physical examination.

Spermatocele Spermatocele Definition. Spermatocele is a cyst or an abnormal sac that grows in the coiled tube situated on the upper-testicle which collects and transmits sperm. This type of cyst is generally filled with clear or milky fluid which may contain sperm. The size of the painless and noncancerous cyst may vary greatly from one patient to another.

Rectocele In women, the vagina is separated from the rectum by a firm wall of tough, fibrous tissue called fascia. Sometimes, an area of this wall gets weak, and part of the rectum bulges into the vagina. This bulge is called a rectocele. The problem usually develops after the wall is damaged during a vaginal delivery. The bulge may occur after a vaginal delivery, but symptoms may not develop until later in life. Rectoceles are more commonly seen in older women who have entered menopause.

Prolapsed Bladder Prolapsed bladder, also called cystocele or fallen bladder, is a common condition in women where the bladder bulges onto the front wall of the vagina. This is often caused by childbirth or menopause. The bladder is a hollow organ in the pelvis that stores urine.

- The symptoms of a cystocele are typically one or more of the following: a bulge or lump protruding from the vagina; kinking of the urethra causing obstruction and hence: the need for “manual reduction” (pushing back) of the cystocele in order to urinate; obstructive urinary symptoms (a slow, weak steam that stops and starts)

- hydrocele. [hī′drōsēl′]. Etymology: Gk, hydor + kele, hernia. an accumulation of fluid in any saclike cavity or duct, specifically in the tunica vaginalis testis or along the spermatic cord. The condition is caused by inflammation of the epididymis or testis or by lymphatic or venous obstruction in the cord. Congenital hydrocele is caused by failure of the canal between the peritoneal cavity and the scrotum to close completely during prenatal development. In some newborns the defect may resolve spontaneously after neonatal obliteration of the communication. Treatment for persistent hydrocele is surgery.

Spermatocele Spermatocele Definition. Spermatocele is an abnormal cyst that appears on the testis or the epididymis. It looks like a lump and usually consists of a milky white fluid that may contain male sperm. It is due to the finding of sperm in the fluid that Spermatoceles are also known as Epididymal Cysts.
