Symptoms of Cystocele
The symptoms of a cystocele may include:
a vaginal bulge
the feeling that something is falling out of the vagina
the sensation of pelvic heaviness or fullness
difficulty starting a urine stream
a feeling of incomplete urination
frequent or urgent urination

Women who have a cystocele may also leak some urine as a result of movements that put pressure on the bladder, called stress urinary incontinence. These movements can include coughing, sneezing, laughing, or physical activity, such as walking. Urinary retention-the inability to empty the bladder completely-may occur with more severe cystoceles if the cystocele creates a kink in the woman’s urethra and blocks urine flow.

Women with mild cystoceles often do not have any symptoms.
