About Posterior Vaginal Wall Prolapse

Posterior vaginal wall prolapse, also known as a rectocele, is a surgical procedure performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist to repair a bulge or protrusion of the back wall of the vagina. This condition occurs when the supportive tissue between the vagina and rectum weakens, 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 tissue or, in some cases, surgical mesh. It effectively alleviates symptoms like a vaginal bulge, difficulty with bowel movements, pelvic pressure, and discomfort during intercourse. This procedure is a common and effective solution for improving pelvic floor health and quality of life.

Sneha Patel, a 58-year-old retired school...

Sneha Patel, a 58-year-old retired school librarian, had a history of two vaginal deliveries and a hysterectomy for fibroids a decade ago. For the past three years, she experienced a persistent feeling of pressure and a bulge in her vagina, especially after long days on her feet. Simple tasks like grocery shopping or gardening became uncomfortable, and she felt a constant, dull ache in her lower back. She was embarrassed and stopped attending her weekly yoga class, fearing something might 'fall out'. Her gynaecologist diagnosed a Stage 2 posterior vaginal wall prolapse (rectocele). The doctor explained that the supportive wall between her vagina and rectum had weakened, and recommended a posterior colporrhaphy repair as conservative measures like pelvic floor physiotherapy hadn't provided sufficient relief. Sneha was anxious about surgery but opted for the procedure. The surgery, performed vaginally, went smoothly. The initial recovery involved managing swelling and discomfort with medication, and she had to avoid heavy lifting and straining for six weeks. Within three months, the dragging pressure and bulge sensation were completely gone. Her backache resolved. Emotionally, she moved from feeling broken and isolated to regaining her confidence. She returned to her yoga class and gardening, feeling like she had reclaimed her body and her active life.
