Female pelvis rule16 : Urinary bladder cystocele

-Is a medical condition that occurs when the tough fibrous wall between a woman's bladder and her vagina (the pubocervical fascia) is torn by childbirth, allowing the bladder to herniate into the vagina. Urethroceles often occur with cystoceles.

Cystogram shows left side of bladder traversing an open left inguinal ring (arrow).

These diagrams indicate the development of first, second and third degrees of prolapse. Note in Figure 1 that the bladder bulges into the vaginal tract (cystocele), and the bowel at the rear is similarly bulging into it (rectocele). Figure 3 shows complete prolapse (procidentia) where part of the uterus and vaginal walls are permanently outside the vaginal tract.
