Treatment of Rectocele at the Helyos Surgery and Rehabilitation Center


The treatment of rectocele at the Helyos Surgery and Rehabilitation Center is a highly qualified approach to managing a condition in which the rectum protrudes through the vaginal wall, leading to the formation of a rectocele. This condition can significantly impact a patient's quality of life, causing difficulties with bowel movements, pain, discomfort, and other symptoms.

  • Birth injuries, especially in cases of large babies or prolonged labor;
  • Surgical interventions affecting the pelvic floor muscles or vaginal wall;

Diagnosis of Rectocele at Helyos

1.Medical Consultation

  • A consultation with a gynecologist or surgeon is conducted first, including medical history collection and a physical examination. The doctor carefully evaluates symptoms and potential causes of the condition.

2.Pelvic Organ Examination

  • Ultrasound of the pelvic organs helps assess the condition of the vaginal wall and rectum.
  • Rectal examination may be performed to evaluate tissue mobility and functional disorders.

3.Cystoscopy and Proctoscopy

  • These methods allow for a detailed examination of the vagina, rectum, and other pelvic organs to identify the exact location of the rectocele.

4.X-ray Examination (Pelvic X-ray)

  • In some cases, radiological diagnostics are used to assess the condition of the pelvic floor.

Treatment Methods for Rectocele at Helyos

1.Conservative Treatment

  • Physiotherapy methods, such as Kegel exercises, to strengthen pelvic floor muscles.
  • Medications to improve bowel function, reduce constipation, and prevent excessive straining during defecation.

2.Surgical Treatment

  • In cases of severe rectocele or when conservative treatment is ineffective, surgical intervention may be required:
  • Rectocele reconstruction – a procedure to restore the correct position of the rectum.
  • Laparoscopic techniques – minimally invasive surgeries performed through small skin incisions.

3.Postoperative Rehabilitation

After surgery, patients undergo rehabilitation, including:

  • Physiotherapy procedures to strengthen the pelvic floor;
  • Lifestyle adjustments to prevent recurrence;
