Yes.: A cystocele is often repaired using suture to support your own tissue. The best repair will depend on your specific circumstances and may include other options like a repair with some type of augmentation or graft. You should have a discussion about what treament options are available with pros and cons of each. Their is no one best approach.

Yes, it can: Currently, "native tissue repair" is preferred for most women with cystocele. Other prolapse should be ruled out. It is best to go to an experienced vaginal surgeon such as a urogynecologist. I hope this helps

Many ways: There is no one correct way to repair a cystocele. There are many ways this can be fixed. It can be done by just suturing your own tissue but this has an approximate 60% lifetime risk of recurring. There is also ways to harvest your own ligaments, use biologic graft from pig or cadaver or the use of synthetic graft. Discuss further with doctor. Resource: www.voicesforpfd.org
