What is bladder prolapse?
Bladder prolapse, also known as cystocele, occurs when the bladder drops from its normal position and presses against the vaginal wall. This condition can cause discomfort, urinary issues, and affect daily activities. At NAU Urology Specialists, we offer expert care and personalized treatment plans to help patients regain their quality of life.
What are the symptoms of bladder prolapse?
Common symptoms of bladder prolapse include:
- A visible or felt bulge in the vaginal area
- Urinary incontinence or leaking urine
- Difficulty urinating or starting urination
- Frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Pelvic pressure or discomfort
- Difficulty emptying the bladder completely
If you experience any of these symptoms, our skilled urology specialists in Austin can provide a thorough evaluation and recommend the best course of action.
Advanced treatment options for bladder prolapse
At NAU Urology Specialists, we offer cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment options for bladder prolapse, including:
- Lifestyle Modifications & Pelvic Floor Therapy: Non-surgical treatment such as Kegel exercises, physical therapy, and lifestyle changes can significantly improve bladder support and reduce symptoms.
- Pessary Devices: A non-surgical option that provides support to the bladder and relieves discomfort. A pessary is a removable device inserted into the vagina to support the bladder and relieve pressure.
- Minimally Invasive Surgery: For more severe cases, we offer advanced surgical options such as anterior vaginal wall repair to reposition and support the bladder. These procedures are performed by our experienced surgeons with a focus on quick recovery and long-term results.
We take a patient-centered approach, ensuring each individual receives the best treatment tailored to their needs.
