Does a rectocele...

..cause problems with constipation and having a bowel movement?

I've been getting a lot of lower abdominal pain and think it may be from constipation. I've been diagnosed with a grade 2 cystocele and a mild uterine prolapse, I've been referred to a physio-therapist to help improve things. The Gyne I saw asked about my bowels, so I'm wondering about a rectocele too...?

Does anyone get low pelvic pain with their prolapses?

Yes it can - Stool can get caught in it - If you change your diet you will suffer far less from this problem (As in not loads of processed foods etc)

Yes it can give low pelvi pain - The posture usually removes this after being in it for a while as everything is moved back to the better position and things ease...

Sometimes youre holding someone else's heart in your hands. You can drop that heart & bruise it. You can squash that heart & hurt it. Or you can stomp on it & totally annihalate it. You stomp on that heart or bruise it. It can forever be changed ♥

I'll have to extra care about keeping my bowels moving. I don't want to get really constipated, because I can't bring myself to strain (I keep thinking my insides will fly out of me!). Scary!
