A member asked:
Can you deliver a baby vaginally with a rectocele/ cystocele? what are the complications?
8 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: A cystocele is a defect in the muscle wall in the anterior part of the vagina letting the bladder wall to bulge into the vagina. A rectocele is a muscle wall defect in the posterior part of the vagina allowing the rectum wall to bulge into the vagina. A vaginal delivery is possible because the baby would push these back into place during delivery. A worsening or even tear is possible.

You can: However the rectocoele or cystocoele may get more symptomatic due to the stretching and thinning of the muscular walls especially if a prolongd labor or large baby.

Yes.: Cystocele and rectocele present no problem to you or the baby for delivery. Vaginal childbirth is probably the biggest risk factor for these problems.
