rectocele

Regina Stepherson needed surgery for rectocele, a prolapse of the wall between the rectum and the vagina.

A few weeks later, I was at my kids’ public school fundraiser, drinking and rage-telling the story of discovering the word rectocele.

He examined her and told her she had stress incontinence and a rectocele.

Another friend, with a rectocele and a cystocele, splints and takes vast quantities of psyllium seed husk to stay regular.

She told me that a rectocele occurs when the muscle between the rectum and vagina is so worn and thin that the rectum kind of pops out into the vagina.
