A cystocele is a prolapse or hernia of the bladder towards the vagina. The weak muscle wall may cause urine to leak during sneezing or coughing and often during jumping or running too. Surgery on the anterior vaginal wall can help to improve this condition, and restore the bladder to its proper position. Childbirth is often the cause of this.
