Vaginal bulging: A cystocele is a type of pelvic organ prolapse which can cause symptoms of vaginal pressure and fullness. In some cases, you can actually see the vaginal wall bulging through the opening of the vagina. A cystocele may also be associated with bladder symptoms such as urgency, frequency, leakage, and difficulty emptying the bladder. If you are having any of these symptoms, see your gynecologist

It varies.: The most common symptoms are a mass bulging into the vaginal opening, pelvic pressure or discomfort, and difficulty with bowel or bladder function. Many women can feel something bulging through the vaginal opening. To check, place fingers at the vaginal opening while seated on a toilet and bear down as if you are trying to have a bowel movement.

Seeing a bulge: at the entrance of the vagina. need for frequent urination. feeling of needing to urinate when not much is in the bladder. difficulty emptying the bladder none of these are 100% proof of a cystocele. you need to see a gynecologist or urogynecologist for further evaluation. hope this helps Dr. Morse
