Hello Anonymous,

You must be examined by a physician. From your description of your symptoms, it sounds like you have a pelvic organ prolapse.

Pelvic organ prolapse is a condition in which structures such as the uterus, rectum, bladder, urethra, small bowel, or the vagina itself may begin to prolapse, or fall, out of their normal positions. Without medical treatment or surgery, these structures may eventually prolapse farther and farther into the vagina or even through the vaginal opening if their supports weaken enough.

The symptoms that result from pelvic organ prolapse commonly affect sexual functions and bodily functions such as urination and defecation.

One type of pelvic organ prolapse is rectocele. Rectocele (prolapse of the rectum) -- This involves a prolapse of the back wall of the vagina (rectovaginal fascia). When this wall weakens, the rectal wall pushes against the vaginal wall, creating a bulge. This bulge may become especially noticeable during bowel movements.

Schedule an appointment, be examined and find the cause of your symptoms. A diagnosis and treatment will eliminate your fears.
