Cystocele (bladder prolapse)

A cystocele is a type of pelvic organ prolapse caused by the bladder moving from its normal position and pressing against the front wall of the vagina. This is also called anterior vaginal wall prolapse. It can happen when the muscles and tissues that hold the bladder in place get weak or damaged.
