My gyn told me yesterday, when I was on my official control, that she thought I had rectocele. She said that she would have to do defecagram to see how large it was. It just wanted to make my usual routine visit, and now I have that awkward diagnose?! I had no symptoms at all. Please tell me if you are informed about rectocelle. Thanks.

When I had started to feel pain with intercourse I visited my gyn, and she told me that it was rectocele. Most women have no symptoms related to rectocele. Rectocele occurs in women with weak rectovaginal septum. It’s a bulge on the front wall of the rectum into your vagina. If you have no symptoms, I think that you should just avoid food that may cause constipation.

I'm 41 and I did have some bowel issues thinking it was hemmroidal so I went to a colon Dr. She then referred me to my Gyno. He did a simple check and noticed I had both and recto and an entrocel. I had surgery to fix mine. I would reccomend the surgery but I will say it is a painful recovery..Its not that the Vaginal area is sore but the bone in by buttocks and the muscles that hurt. Its been 2 weeks and I still cant sit for very long.. On the good side the Dr said I would be like brand new.. Lucky for that man in my life. Good Luck Ladies if you choose to have the surgery..
