What Does A Bulge From Vagina Indicate?
Question: I have been experiencing lower back and left leg around buttocks - thought it was sciatica. But at same time was noticing a strange feeling in vaginal area and also at times a bulge with a feeling of a air bubble rolling down. As I was urinating I notice a bulge pertruding. I'm 68 and suspected a prolapsed bladder. What should be my next step?
Brief Answer:
Likely to be bladder prolapse.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The feeling of a bulge rolling down the vagina is likely to be due to a prolapsed bladder. This can be confirmed after a direct examination by your gynecologist. Lifestyle changes that will help you in slowing the prolapse process include:
• Reaching and staying at a weight that is healthy for your height.
• Not smoking.
• Correcting constipation.
• Avoiding heavy lifting and jumping.
• Doing pelvic strengthening exercises (Kegel exercises) every day.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
