My 64-year-old patient ended up having a cystocele, otherwise known as a fallen or prolapsed bladder.

Another friend, with a rectocele and a cystocele, splints and takes vast quantities of psyllium seed husk to stay regular.

We need to make the words rectocele and cystocele and urethrocele and enterocele, each a type of pelvic organ prolapse resulting most often from childbirth and aging, part of the common vernacular of women’s health.

A cystocele is when the bladder bulges into the vagina.
