Clinical InformationClinical
Cystocele
a hernia-like condition in which the weakened pelvic muscles cause the urinary bladder to drop from its normal position. fallen urinary bladder is more common in females with the bladder dropping into the vagina and less common in males with the bladder dropping into the scrotum.
Patient EducationClinical
Pelvic Floor Disorders
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and other tissues that form a sling or hammock across the pelvis. In women, it holds the uterus, bladder, bowel, and other pelvic organs in place so that they can work properly. The pelvic floor can become weak or be injured. The main causes are pregnancy and childbirth.
