The most common UTIs occur mainly in women and affect the bladder and urethra. 1  Infection of the bladder (cystitis). This type of UTI is usually caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli), a type of bacteria commonly found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. 2  Infection of the urethra (urethritis).
Vaginal vault prolapse: This type of prolapse may occur following a hysterectomy (surgical removal of the uterus). Because the ligaments surrounding the uterus provides support for the top of the vagina, this condition is common after a hysterectomy. In vaginal vault prolapse, the top of the vagina gradually falls toward the vaginal opening. This may cause the walls of the vagina to weaken as well.
I had a complete hysterectomy 14 years ago and now my bladder is âfallenâ and I want to know what my options are. Someone told me the only thing I could do is bladder suspension â is this true? A fallen bladder, also known as cystocele or prolapsed bladder, is common after hysterectomies. It involves the bladder falling into the vaginal canal. Prolapsed bladder symptoms include tissue in/protruding from the vagina, problems with urination, increased bladder infections, pelvic discomfort, pain in the lower back, and pain during intercourse. If any of these symptoms are present, it is important to see your doctor so they can conduct a pelvic exam to diagnose you.
