Hello,

Yes, rectocele can cause bloating. You are advised to take antacids and PPIs to control acidity and gastritis. Take boiled food for a couple of days. You should avoid spicy, oily, junk food. Maintain healthy weight. You are advised to do Kegel exercises under a Physical therapist. You should avoid lifting up heavy weight. Prevent constipation to help control incontinence.

Get clinically examined and evaluated by a GP/surgeon. You may have to get a vaginal pessary inserted to support prolapsed organs. Your treatment will depend on the degree of vaginal prolapse. Your treating doctor may recommend a surgical procedure called posterior colporrhaphy (POP) commonly used to repair rectoceles. Get treated at the earliest.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
