Dr. Mohammed Hatem AlsubaihWhat does rectocele mean?
The front rectal wall bulges toward the vagina because support is weakened. It differs from rectal prolapse through the anus.
Does every rectocele need repair?
No; some are asymptomatic. Stool trapping, evacuation symptoms and examination must match before attributing symptoms to it.
