Anterior colporrhaphy with bladder fixation (cystocele treatment)
Regain your confidence and quality of life
Prolapse of the anterior vaginal wall along with the bladder (cystocele) is a common pathology that many women face after difficult childbirth, physical exertion, or with the onset of menopause. This condition is accompanied by constant discomfort, a feeling of a foreign body, and problems with urination. At St. Luke’s Clinic, we offer a reliable and effective solution — anterior colporrhaphy with bladder fixation.
This is a surgical plastic surgery that restores the normal anatomy of the pelvic floor, returning health, comfort, and a full intimate life to women.
When is surgery necessary? Main symptoms of cystocele
Pelvic organ prolapse does not go away on its own and tends to progress. You should consult a gynecological surgeon if you are concerned about:
A feeling of heaviness, pressure, or a “foreign body” in the vagina (especially at the end of the day).
Stress urinary incontinence: involuntary leakage during coughing, sneezing, laughing, or physical exertion.
Frequent urges to urinate or a feeling of incomplete bladder emptying.
Frequent recurrences of cystitis (due to urine stagnation).
Pain or discomfort during sexual intercourse.
Visual bulging of the vaginal wall outwards.
How is anterior colporrhaphy performed?
The goal of the operation is to strengthen the stretched tissues and return the bladder to its natural place.
Access: All manipulations are performed transvaginally (through the vagina). There are no incisions or scars on the abdomen.
Course of operation: The surgeon carefully separates the mucous membrane of the anterior vaginal wall, repositions the bladder to its correct anatomical position, and securely fixes it with special sutures (using the patient’s own tissues or special mesh implants as indicated).
Plasty: The excess stretched vaginal mucosa is excised, and the edges are sutured with a cosmetic, self-dissolving stitch.
Anesthesia: The operation is performed under reliable anesthesia (spinal or general), which guarantees complete absence of pain.
Advantages of treatment at St. Luke’s Clinic
Experienced gynecological surgeons: Our specialists delicately and professionally restore the anatomy of the pelvic floor, using the most modern techniques.
Aesthetic result: Use of fine suture materials that leave no scars in the vagina.
Fast recovery: After the operation, the patient stays in a comfortable hospital for 1-2 days under the careful supervision of medical staff.
Comprehensive approach: We not only eliminate the consequences (prolapse) but also solve the problem of urinary incontinence in one operation.
Rehabilitation: what you need to know?
Recovery after anterior colporrhaphy is quite comfortable, but requires adherence to several important rules for 1.5–2 months:
Limitation of physical exertion and lifting heavy objects (over 3 kg).
Abstinence from sexual activity until complete tissue healing.
Prevention of constipation (proper nutrition).
Don’t let a delicate problem limit your life. Modern gynecology can solve this quickly and permanently. Schedule a confidential consultation with a gynecological surgeon at St. Luke’s Clinic.
