What is a large rectocele?

A large rectocele is a bulging of the rectum into the posterior wall of the vagina, often due to weakened pelvic support structures. This condition can cause symptoms such as difficulty with bowel movements, pelvic pressure, and discomfort during intercourse. It commonly occurs in women, particularly after childbirth or with age, and may require medical evaluation and treatment, which can include pelvic floor therapy or surgical options.
