A member asked:

How is a 'dropped bladder' diagnosed by a woman?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Bryan Treacy answered

Specializes in Gynecology

Look: Very often, you can see the bladder protruding between the labia while on the toilet. It takes physical exam to determine if this is the bladder, cervix, vaginal cuff (after hysterectomy) or the rectum that is "falling out". Surgical repair can be curative if symptoms are annoying.
