A urethrocele is the prolapse of the female urethra into the vagina . Weakening of the tissues that hold the urethra in place may cause it to protrude into the vagina.[3] [4] Urethroceles often occur with cystoceles (involving the urinary bladder as well as the urethra).[5] In this case, the term used is cystourethrocele .[6] [7]
Signs and symptoms
[ edit ]
There are often no symptoms associated with a urethrocele.[3] When present, symptoms include stress incontinence , increased urinary frequency , and urinary retention (difficulty in emptying the bladder ).[3] [6] Pain during sexual intercourse may also occur.[5]
Complications
[ edit ]
Where a urethrocele causes difficulty in urinating, this can lead to cystitis .[3]
Cause
[ edit ]
Urethroceles can often result as a result of damage to the supporting structures of the pelvic floor. Urethroceles can form after treatment for gynecological cancers.[8]
Urethroceles are often caused by childbirth, the movement of the baby through the vagina causing damage to the surrounding tissues.[5] When they occur in women who have never had children, they may be the result of a congenital weakness in the tissues of the pelvic floor .[9]
