Cystocele or urethrocele
(Front vaginal wall)

Cystocele is also known as prolapse of the bladder into the vaginal wall. Urethrocele is prolapse of the urethra. Many doctors have stopped using the term urethrocele, however, and consider it a cystocele further down the neck of the bladder. Cystocele is the most common form of prolapse and can cause incontinence, trouble urinating and a noticeable bulge near the vaginal opening. The bladder itself does not enter the vagina, nor can it fall out of the body. A severe prolapse may protrude outside the vaginal opening.
