Unrelated: The symptoms you describe would not be caused by a rectocele. It is quite possible there is a GI issue causing these symptoms.

Prob not rectocele: Rectocele typically causes vaginal pressure and difficulty with bowel movements. The symptoms you describe are not typically associated with rectocele. A doctor should evaluate.
