A cystocele is a medical condition that causes the bladder to bulge into the vagina due to weakened pelvic muscles. There are several synonyms for this condition that are used in medical circles or by doctors to describe it. One of the most common synonyms is anterior vaginal wall prolapse. Other synonyms include bladder prolapse, cystourethrocele, and dropped bladder. These synonyms all relate to the same medical condition but have varying degrees of severity or different anatomical features. Regardless of the term used, if you are experiencing any symptoms of a cystocele or weakened pelvic muscles, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
