What is a Dropped Bladder?
A dropped bladder, also known as a prolapsed bladder, occurs when the wall between a woman’s vagina and bladder weaken and the bladder drops into the vagina. The medical term for this condition is called cystocele. This condition often occurs after childbirth when the vagina heals but never recovers its full strength. It can also occur as a result of menopause when estrogen levels decrease. This reduction in estrogen weakens the vaginal walls.
