Emma Garcia, a 67-year-old grandmother, had been quietly managing a feeling of 'something falling out' for a decade, but it worsened dramatically after a severe bout of bronchitis. She developed fecal urgency and difficulty completely emptying her bowels, requiring manual splinting (pushing on the vaginal wall) to have a bowel movement. Embarrassed, she finally confided in her daughter, who urged her to see a doctor. Her gynaecologist diagnosed a large, symptomatic rectocele. Given the impact on her bowel function and quality of life, the doctor strongly recommended a colpoperineorrhaphy. Emma was terrified of surgery but more afraid of her declining independence. The surgery was successful. The post-operative recovery required patience, but the distressing bowel symptoms resolved. Emotionally, she transitioned from shame and isolation, having hidden her condition for years, to profound relief and a regained sense of dignity and control over her own body.
