Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I saw the pictures you sent (attachments removed to protect the patient’s identity). It seems to be a problem of the anterior wall of the vagina, called as cystocele. How many children do you have? Do you have involuntary urination when you laugh or cough? I would recommend you to get a physical examination from a gynecologist in person.

Regards.

Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Thanks for the reply.

I have one child, he is nine years old. Nothing happens while laughing or coughing. Everything seems normal when it comes to urinating.

Thanks.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

As I said above, it seems like a cystocele with excessive tissue that raises above the anterior wall of the vagina. It might be due to the laceration caused during delivery.

I do not see anything serious.

Regards.
