Is this a rectocele?

Hi ladies, I've been experiencing an intermittent lump and feeling of fullness in my vagina that disappears after a bowel movement. Sorry to sound crude but sometimes it can be quite a lump and I have to insert my fingers in there to push it out when I'm on the loo! It's got worse over the past year but I can still live with it. It just becomes a problem sometimes when I'm exercising. Does this sound like a rectocele? Any advice appreciated. I'm 45 with 2 children.

    Operation was on Friday - first bowel movement today ! YAY !!! lactulose is amazing! was not as bad as I feared, even though there was a huge clap of thunder outside at a most appropriate time! Back to resting and being good . . and checking in on this wonderful site. Thank you ladies, you are wonderful!
