About Cystocele Repair

Cystocele repair, also known as anterior vaginal wall repair or anterior colporrhaphy, is a surgical procedure performed by a urologist to correct a prolapsed bladder. A cystocele occurs when the supportive tissue between a woman's bladder and vaginal wall weakens, allowing the bladder to bulge into the vagina. This condition can lead to uncomfortable symptoms like pelvic pressure, urinary incontinence, and difficulty emptying the bladder. The procedure involves the urologist making an incision in the vaginal wall, repositioning the bladder back into its normal anatomical position, and reinforcing the weakened tissue with sutures. This surgery aims to restore pelvic support, alleviate symptoms, and improve the patient's quality of life. It is a common and effective treatment for restoring normal pelvic anatomy and function.

Key Highlights

PATIENT REVIEW

My dad was admitted to MGM...

My dad was admitted to MGM with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Ramya Shri was the one who really talked to us. She didn't just give medical updates; she explained things in a way we could understand, told us what to watch for at home, and actually listened to our concerns. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
