Now I have a question for you. I have just gotton my med. records for the past ten years actually I have seen these doctors in 7 years so it is much longer then that. : Anyway, in 1980 I went through some tests for my bladder,this report said "upon voiding, the urethra was demonstrated to be nearly horizontal in position with a low poaterior position of the urinary bladder. this strongly suggests the presence of a cystocele." : What does all this mean and what is acystocele? Nothing was ever done or said about this.Thank you for being here. Pat Dear Pat

22. Pelvic Floor Assessment We routinely determine if patients have a cystocele, rectocele, enterocele,or uterine prolapse that may be responsible for their symptoms. http://www.universityobgyn.com/pelvic.htm

PELVIC FLOOR ASSESSMENT Many women will spend hours each week exercising their legs and abdomen muscles in order to "keep in shape." Unfortunately, one of the most important sets of muscles is overlooked and ignored. The pelvic floor muscles are a series of muscles that form a sling or hammock across the opening of the pelvis. These muscles, together with their surrounding tissue, is responsible for keeping all of the pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, and rectum) in place and functioning correctly. Women commonly will damage their pelvic floor muscles during childbirth and this can lead to problems in the future. Women with weak or damaged pelvic floors may experience back pain, symptoms of pelvic pressure or pain. They may notice leaking or urine or stool. Many will have the sensation that something is falling out of the vagina. We provide screening and careful assessment of the muscles of the pelvic floor. We routinely determine if patients have a cystocele rectocele enterocele , or uterine prolapse that may be responsible for their symptoms. We can assess how strong the muscles are and determine if there is any permanent damage to the support mechanism in the pelvis. We can determine if special exercises would be useful and encourage all women to learn to do

SECONDARY CYSTOCELE REPAIR (SCR):THE ROLE OF PROLENE MESH Authors: S P Marinkovic, S.L. Stanton Institution: Urogynecology Unit, St George's Hospital, London, United Kingdom Conference: ICS 2000 Tampere Type: Video Aim of Study: To demonstrate a vaginal approach to improve the support of anterior compartment prolapse (ACP) after failed cystocele repair with the interposition of Prolene GyneMesh (polypropylene mesh). Methods: All patients underwent multichannel urodynamics with their prolapse reduced to ensure there is no concomitant stress urinary incontinence. The patient is placed in a modified lithotomy position using Allen stirrups. The vagina is cleansed with betadine solution and draped in a sterile conventional manner. The midline of the anterior vaginal wall (AVW) is infused with 10 ml of 1 % lidocaine with 1:200000 adrenaline solution. The AVW is incised vertically one centimeter proximal to the external urethral meatus. The cystocele is mobilised and reduced. A 1-0 vicryl stitch is placed at the bladder neck (Kelly suture). The mesh is trimmed to adequately reduce the cystocele. A series of 2-0 vicryl stitches incorporate pubocervical fascia and the mesh. Redundant AVW is excised. The AVW is closed with continuous locking 1-0 vicryl suture. The bladder is drained with a Bonnano suprapubic catheter for 24-48 hours. Result: This vaginal procedure provides excellent and expedient reduction of recurrent cystocele. With one year's experience we have not encountered any recurrent cystocele, urethral or bladder injury, mesh erosion, de novo urgency or urinary retention.

Overview Cystocele (Dropped Bladder) Enterocele (Small Bladder Prolapse) Uterine Prolapse Rectocele (Rectal Heimation into Vagina MRI Evaluation of Prolapse Cystocele (Dropped Bladder) Cystocele occurs when the bladder sags into the vagina. Often times, the patient also has some degree of voiding dysfunction (leakage, urgency or frequency) that coexist with the dropped bladder. To correct this problem, the bladder is placed back into its normal position and sutured into place. To decrease the rather high recurrence rates of this procedure, Section surgeons have developed techniques that allow for additional support to these already weakened tissues in order to create a more solid and long lasting repair. These pioneering efforts have led Section surgeons to teach these techniques to other physicians around the country.

A cystocele is a type of hernia in which the urinary bladder pushes against weakened tissue in the front wall of the vagina. It causes a bulging into the vagina. Common causes of a cystocele are aging and pregnancy with vaginal delivery. A cystocele repair is an operation that lifts and tightens the tissue around the bladder so that it no longer pushes against the vagina. When is it used? Surgical repair is done to relieve symptoms that may be caused by a cystocele. Symptoms of a cystocele may include the following: If the urethra (the tube through which urine drains from the bladder) is pulled out of position, you may leak urine when you cough, laugh, or lift a heavy object. (This is called stress incontinence.)

Subscribe now >> Fallen Bladder (Cystocele) A cystocele (SIS-tuh-seal) occurs when the wall between a woman's bladder and her vagina weakens and lets the bladder droop into the vagina. This condition may cause discomfort and problems with emptying the bladder. In some women, a fallen bladder stretches the opening into the urethra, causing urine leakage when the woman coughs, sneezes, laughs, or does any action that puts pressure on the bladder. So a bladder that has dropped from its normal position may cause two kinds of problemsunwanted urine leakage and incomplete emptying of the bladder. A cystocele is mild (grade 1) when the bladder droops only a short way into the vagina. A more severe (grade 2) cystocele means that the bladder has sunk into the vagina far enough to reach the opening of the vagina. The most advanced (grade 3) cystocele occurs when the bladder bulges out through the opening of the vagina. A cystocele may result from muscle straining while giving birth. Other kinds of strainingsuch as heavy lifting or repeated straining during bowel movementsmay also cause the bladder to fall. The hormone estrogen helps keep the muscles around the vagina strong. When women go through menopause (when they stop having periods), their bodies stop making estrogen, so the muscles around the vagina and bladder may grow weak.

A cystocele is an downward outpocketing or hernia of the bladder towards the vaginal opening. The weakening of the muscular wall in this condition can cause urine to leak from the bladder when there is an increase in internal abdominal pressure such as in sneezing or coughing. Surgery such as an anterior vaginal wall repair may help this condition. Review Date: 12/5/2001 12:00:00 AM Reviewed By:A.D.A.M. Medical Illustration Team
