Rectocele
(Back vaginal wall)

Rectocele is the prolapse of the rectum or a portion of the large intestine into the vaginal wall. Rectocele may cause difficulty defecating, an inability to defecate, or a bulge near the vaginal opening. The rectum itself does not enter the vagina, nor can it fall out of the body. A severe prolapse may protrude outside the vaginal opening. Rectocele often occurs with other types if prolapse.
