There are several types of prolapse: 1  Cystocele--tissues between the vagina and bladder weaken, and the bladder falls into the vagina. 2  Rectocele--tissues between the vagina and rectum weaken, and the rectum falls into the vagina. 3  Enterocele--the small bowel falls through the apex of the vagina, often after a hysterectomy.
Under normal conditions in women, the bladder is held in place by a hammock of supportive pelvic floor muscles and tissue. When these tissues are stretched and/or become weak, the bladder can drop and bulge through this layer and into the vagina. This results in bladder prolapse, also called cystocele. In severe cases, the prolapsed bladder can appear at the opening of the vagina. Sometimes it can even protrude (drop) through the vaginal opening. Bladder prolapse is common in women. The symptoms of bladder prolapse can be bothersome but it can be treated.
