A member asked:
Is there anything that can cause a woman to have a rectocele besides child birth or anal sex?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bad genes.: Genetic predisposition, chronic constipation, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (coughing), asthma, diabetes mellitus and multiple childbirths can lead to rectocele. I am not aware of any studies to suggest that anal intercourse is a risk factor.
