A member asked:

Could a grade 2 rectocele and cystocele prolapse cause excessive gasiness?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

No;but: The loose pelvic structures contribute to the ease of flatulence (passing rectal gas or "farting").If the pelvic muscles were tightened it may help.

No: No; excessive abdominal gas is not the result of pelvic organ prolapse.
