What does rectocele mean?

The front rectal wall bulges toward the vagina because support is weakened. It differs from rectal prolapse through the anus.

Does every rectocele need repair?

No; some are asymptomatic. Stool trapping, evacuation symptoms and examination must match before attributing symptoms to it.

Privacy and assessment scope

Questions run in this page without asking for your name, phone number or intimate images. Optional AI assessment sends your answers and text to Cloudflare only with your consent; files are sent when you request extraction. Remove identifiers before upload. The app creates no permanent medical record. Its automated output is not a personal consultation with the doctor. Answers do not persist after reload and are not sent automatically to the clinician. WhatsApp is an external service; the booking button does not attach medical answers. Saved or copied reports contain health information: review them and choose who to share them with.

App files may be cached locally for offline use; this does not include assessment answers. Hosting services process ordinary web requests under their policies. Guidance is automated education, not a diagnosis, prescription or clinician-issued report.
