HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
Prolapse of an organ means that the organ (such as the bladder) drops or moves from its normal space and may therefore push against surrounding structures.
The bladder can prolapse (drop from its normal position). This is called a cystocele.
When it is very severe the bladder can appear at the opening of the vagina.
A cystocele/ prolapse or drop of the bladder , is diagnosed on physical examination. In some cases imaging is needed with a test called cystogram (x rays of the bladder).
If there are no symptoms and the prolapse is mild then treatment may not be necessary but if it is severe then surgically treatment may be recommended.
