Symptoms of a cystocele vary and may depend on the severity. They include a feeling of heaviness or fullness in the pelvis, lower back pain, frequent urinary tract infections, an urgent need to urinate, incomplete bladder emptying, painful intercourse, and a bulge inside the vagina. A cystocele can also cause pressure in the pelvis that gets worse with lifting, coughing, or standing. Some women describe a "pulling" sensation in the area of their vagina.
