A prolapsed bladder, also called cystocele, occurs when the pelvic floor muscles and connective tissues weaken, allowing the bladder to drop into the vaginal canal.
This can lead to symptoms such as urinary leakage, urgency, difficulty emptying the bladder, pelvic pressure, or a feeling of heaviness or bulging in the pelvis. Although common, especially after childbirth or during and after menopause, many women are not given clear guidance on why it happens or how to manage it.
This tag brings together evidence-based insights on the causes, stages, and symptoms of bladder prolapse, along with practical strategies for prevention and treatment. Topics include pelvic floor therapy, hormonal influences, lifestyle factors, surgical and non-surgical options, and the role of aging, childbirth, and metabolic health in pelvic support.
Whether you are experiencing symptoms or simply want to better understand your pelvic health, this section offers knowledge that helps women make informed, confident decisions about their wellbeing.
