Did you miss me? Well, I am back. I sure missed all of you. Number one: I am 127.2 pounds almost to my goal of 125 pounds! I had to have surgery last week. Was in the hospital for five days. My surgeon let me me go home on the sixth day. I was thankful that he is also the one that did my gastric bypass last November, 2008. Anhow, I am still sore but, getting better every day. Take care and God bless you!
Always,
JOY
Here is the information on what caused my problem and why I had surgery. My surgeon also did a colon resection. I hope it explains it. No, it was not caused by my gastric bypass surgery. Just something that has happened over the years.
****************
A rectocele (pronounced /ˈrɛktəˌsil/, REK-tuh-seel) results from a tear in the rectovaginal septum (which is normally a tough fibrous sheet like divider between the rectum and vagina). Rectal tissue bulges through this tear, into the vagina, as a hernia. There are two main causes of this tear: childbirth and hysterectomy.
Symptoms of rectoceleMild cases may simply produce a sense of pressure or protrusion within the vagina, and the occasional feeling that the rectum has not been completely emptied after a bowel movement. Moderate cases may involve difficulty passing stool (because the attempt to evacuate pushes the stool into the rectocele instead of out through the anus), discomfort or pain during evacuation or intercourse, constipation, and a general sensation that something is "falling down" or "falling out" within the pelvis. Severe cases may cause vaginal bleeding, intermittent fecal incontinence, or even the prolapse of the bulge through the mouth of the vagina, or rectal prolapse through the anus. Digital evacuation, or, manual pushing, on the posterior wall of the vagina helps to aid in bowel movement in a majority of cases of rectocele.
CausesIt can be caused by many factors, but the most common is childbirth, especially with babies over nine pounds in weight, or rapid births. The use of forceps is more likely a marker for the vaginal injury, than a direct cause of the tear. Episiotomy or lower vaginal tears play little role in the formation of a cystocele. The risk increases with the number of vaginal births, although it can also happen in women who have never borne a child.
A hysterectomy or other pelvic surgery can be a cause,[1] as can chronic constipation and straining to pass bowel movements. It is more common in older women than in younger ones; estrogen which helps to keep the pelvic tissues elastic decreases after menopause. Another cause which is sometimes overlooked in younger women is sexual abuse during childhood.
