Campus Construction Update

Starting September 14, we’re closing the Menino building lobby entrance. This, along with the ongoing Yawkey building entrance closure, will help us bring you an even better campus experience that matches the exceptional care you've come to expect. Please enter the Menino and Yawkey buildings through the Moakley building, and make sure to leave extra time to get to your appointment. Thank you for your patience.

Cystocele

Select your language:

Cystocele, or prolapsed (fallen) bladder, occurs when the ligaments and muscles that hold a woman’s bladder (where urine is stored) in place weaken, allowing the bladder to drop, either putting pressure on or dropping in or out of the vagina. Causes range from a drop in estrogen that comes with aging to illness and obesity, and symptoms range from frequent bathroom trips to serious pain. There are both lifestyle and medical treatments to ease problems and symptoms.
