are seldom recommended despite the fact that half of all women over 50, along with countless younger women, suffer from POP.
Chronic constipation is the most commonly reported gastrointestinal issue in the United States accounting for more than 2.5 million physician visits a year. Many people treat themselves without medical intervention. A rectocele is one of five types of POP. It is when a bulge-type pocket occurs in the rectum and pushes into the rear vaginal wall. Fecal matter gets stuck in this bulge, resulting in relentless, long-term constipation. No amount of fiber eating is going to help much with this type of constipation. Women will find it extremely difficult to have a bowel movement. Often after much pushing and straining, a small amount of stool will come out, but it will not be a complete bowel movement.
