Cystocele Diagnosis
How Is a Cystocele Diagnosed?
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination (which may reveal the fallen part of the bladder through the vagina), diagnostic procedures for a cystocele may include a cystourethrogram (also called a voiding cystogram). This is an X-ray of the bladder during urination and with the bladder and urethra filled with contrast medium to determine the shape of the bladder and any obstructions.
Other tests and procedures may be necessary to determine if there are any problems in the other areas of the urinary system.
Grades of cystoceles:
- Grade 1 mild — The bladder droops only a short way into the vagina.
- Grade 2 more severe — The bladder has sunk into the vagina far enough to reach the opening of the vagina.
- Grade 3 most advanced — The bladder bulges out through the opening of the vagina.
Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are research studies that evaluate a new medical approach, device, drug, or other treatment. As a Stanford Health Care patient, you may have access to the latest, advanced clinical trials.
Open trials refer to studies currently accepting participants. Closed trials are not currently enrolling, but may open in the future.
