WHAT DOES RECTOCELE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Rectocele

A rectocele results from a tear in the rectovaginal septum. Rectal tissue bulges through this tear and into the vagina as a hernia. There are two main causes of this tear: childbirth, and hysterectomy. Although the term applies most usually to the phenomenon of rectal herniation into the vagina in females, males may suffer with a condition likewise named. Rectoceles in men are uncommon, and usually the protrusion is backwards rather than forwards, as the prostate gland provides structural support anteriorly in men. Prostatectomy appears to be associated with rectoceles in men.

Definition of rectocele in the English dictionary

The definition of rectocele in the dictionary is a protrusion or herniation of the rectum into the vagina.
