I have an appt (in another month) to be evaluated.... but hoping for some insight....I honestly haven't looked at myself much since having my child (over 5 years ago) be cause I knew nothing down there would ever look the same 😫 I've noticed from time to time what seems to ME to feel/look like a bulge whenever I'm sitting on the toilet. I've just brushed it off for a couple years, telling myself "this is just how things start looking after you have kids". More recently I'm beginning to wonder if I'm wrong.... and if this is actually a type of prolapse?? Unfortunately the internet doesn't provide very helpful images. Hoping someone here can give me input..... 🤞🤞🤞

    u r good,

    forgot to ask age? many things are acceptable with age, ask any professional in field they will say same

    how does it look while coughing, can you try to contract it or push it?

    get a pelvic exam done by nearby

      Just a heads up for anyone browsing through posts and looking for answers, I went to my provider who did confirm that this is a rectocele/posterior prolapse. Good luck everyone!
