About Anterior Vaginal Wall Prolapse

Anterior vaginal wall prolapse, also known as a cystocele, is a surgical procedure performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist to repair a bulge or descent of the front (anterior) wall of the vagina. This condition occurs when the supportive tissues between the bladder and vagina weaken, often due to childbirth, aging, or chronic straining. The surgery aims to restore normal anatomy and function by reinforcing the vaginal wall, typically using the patient's own tissues or a synthetic mesh. It effectively alleviates symptoms like pelvic pressure, urinary incontinence, incomplete bladder emptying, and discomfort during intercourse. The procedure is tailored to the patient's specific needs and overall health, often performed through a vaginal approach to minimize recovery time.
