A urethrocele occurs when the tissues surrounding the urethra sag downward into the vagina. Both conditions are easy for your doctor to see during a physical exam. They often occur at the same time and are usually caused by damage that happens when a baby is delivered through the mother’s birth canal (vagina).
How do you fix a urethrocele?
- losing weight to take stress off pelvic structures.
- avoiding heavy lifting.
- doing Kegel exercises, which are pelvic floor exercises that help strengthen the vaginal muscles.
Can a urethral prolapse fix itself?
In one series, the prolapsed urethra persisted at a 3-year follow-up, even though the symptoms disappeared. In another series, treatment of urethral prolapse with topical estrogen cream resulted in complete involution in 3-6 weeks, without recurrence.
