9. Protrusion into the Vagina

Some women may feel as though something is bulging into the vagina and have problems with bowel movements. This can happen when the support tissue between the rectum and the vagina stretches or detaches from the pelvic bones. This causes the rectum to bulge into the vagina. Vaginal problems can be sorted out at the same time as the surgery for the rectal prolapse. A multi-disciplinary approach to the operation is usually necessary if urinary incontinence of protrusion into the vagina is present. If this does not happen, the related symptoms are likely to worsen.
