• #1 Small bowel prolapse (enterocele)

  https://www.mymlc.com/health-information/diseases-and-conditions/s/small-bowel-prolapse-enterocele2/

  Small bowel prolapse, also called enterocele (EN-tur-o-seel), occurs when the small intestine (small bowel) descends into the lower pelvic cavity and pushes at the top part of the vagina, creating a bulge. The word „prolapse” means to slip or fall out of place. […] To manage small bowel prolapse, self-care measures and other nonsurgical options are often effective. In severe cases, you may need surgery to fix the prolapse. […] Small bowel prolapse typically doesn’t need treatment if the symptoms don’t trouble you. Surgery may be effective if you have advanced prolapse with bothersome symptoms. Nonsurgical approaches are available if you wish to avoid surgery, if surgery would be too risky or if you want to become pregnant in the future. […] Treatment options for small bowel prolapse include: Observation. If your prolapse causes few or no obvious symptoms, you don’t need treatment. Simple self-care measures, such as performing exercises called Kegel exercises to strengthen your pelvic muscles, may provide symptom relief.

• #7 ENTEROCELE, RECTOCELE, OR BOTH?

  https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/enterocele-rectocele-both-sherrie-palm

  Enterocele occurs when the intestines (small bowel) protrude through a fascial defect or weak tissues, typically at the apex (top) of the vagina. Women whove experienced birth trauma or had prolonged deliveries or forceps deliveries may have a higher risk of enterocele. Patients with previous pelvic surgery may have a predisposition to an enterocele as well; particularly a hysterectomy. […] An enterocele can develop in the posterior wall (back side by rectum) or anterior wall (front side by uterus), basically wherever the small bowel (intestines) fall through defects in the vaginal wall. The size and degree of drop of enteroceles may vary considerably, from halfway down the vaginal length, all the way down to the perineum (tissues surrounding the urogenital and anal openings), or even protrude out of the anal canal to form rectal prolapse. An enterocele may be distinguished during pelvic examination as a bulge that occurs during the valsalva maneuver (deep held breath while bearing down). It may also be necessary for a physician to request you perform the valsalva maneuver while you are standing with one foot on a stool.

  Symptoms of an enterocele may be sensation of a mass bulging into the vagina or pushing against the perineum or pain with intercourse. They may also include a pulling sensation in the pelvis or low back pain that eases up when you lie down, vaginal discharge, or a feeling of pelvic fullness, pain, or pressure. There may be a rapid return of bowel movement urge shortly after evacuating bowels (gotta go, gotta go again).

Lock the bathroom door and „go deaf” to activities and voices outside that door, to assure no one and nothing can disturb you – it will make it easier to relax.

  https://birminghambowelclinic.co.uk/enterocele-sigmoidocele/

  Many women may notice a bulge in their vagina. They may also notice dragging or a feeling of pressure particularly towards the end of the day or if they have been on their feet for a few hours. […] As the bulge gets bigger sometimes it can be more difficult to completely empty their bowels. This is because the bulge presses on the front of the rectum. Sometimes the bulging gives the sensations that there is still more bowel movement to pass even though the lower bowel is empty. […] If symptoms are minimal then no surgical treatment may be necessary. Keeping the stools soft and avoiding straining should help to prevent the enterocele or sigmoidocele getting larger. Sometimes glycerine suppositories or small enemas will help emptying. […] For most women who have an enterocele or sigmoidocele that is causing pressure symptoms or problems with bowel emptying, a repair is recommended. The type of repair will depend on whether there is any other pelvic floor weakness or prolapse. An operation to repair an enterocele through the vagina may be performed in conjunction with a gynecologist. Sometimes a ventral mesh rectopexy may be considered particularly if internal rectal prolapse co-exists.

• #12 Small Bowel Prolapse – Humanitas.net

  https://www.humanitas.net/diseases/small-bowel-prolapse/

  Small bowel prolapse, also called enterocele, occurs when the tissues and muscles that hold the small intestine (small bowel) become stretched or weakened. This is turn causes the small bowel to press against and move the upper wall of the vagina, creating a bulge. Small bowel prolapse can develop if there is an increased amount of pressure on the pelvic muscles, such as from childbirth, aging or other processes. The condition becomes typically worse after being active and shows signs of relief in the morning after lying down all night. Symptoms of small bowel prolapsed can range from severe pelvic pain to subtle discomfort when sitting. To manage small bowel prolapse, self-care treatments are often the most effective; however, in more severe cases of the condition, surgical repair may be vital.

• #13 Repair of Rectocele or Enterocele

  https://www.cham.org/HealthwiseArticle.aspx?id=tv1532

  A rectocele (small bowel prolapse) occurs when the small bowel presses against and moves the upper wall of the vagina. […] A rectocele or an enterocele may become large or more obvious when you strain or bear down (for example, during a bowel movement). […] Because rectocele and enterocele are defects of the pelvic supporting tissue and not the bowel wall, they are treated most successfully with surgery that repairs the vaginal wall. […] General anesthesia is usually used for repair of a rectocele or enterocele. […] Normal bowel function returns within 2 to 4 weeks. […] Your doctor will give you special bowel care instructions. […] Surgical repair of rectoceles and enteroceles is used to help symptoms such as pressure from movement of the intestine that pushes against the wall of the vagina, low back pain, and painful intercourse. […] Surgery helps improve symptoms for most people. […] Risks of rectocele and enterocele repair are uncommon but include: urinary retention, bladder injury, bowel or rectal injury, infection, painful intercourse, formation of an abnormal connection or opening between two organs (fistula).

  Small bowel prolapse, also known as small bowel herniation or enterocele, is a medical condition that occurs when a portion of the small intestine protrudes into the pelvic cavity. This happens when the supporting structures of the small bowel weaken or become damaged, causing it to drop down and push against surrounding organs. Small bowel prolapse can lead to various symptoms such as abdominal pain, bloating, constipation, and a feeling of fullness or pressure in the pelvic area. […] Understanding what small bowel prolapse is and its associated symptoms is crucial for timely diagnosis and appropriate treatment. If you suspect you may be experiencing this condition, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional who can provide an accurate diagnosis and recommend suitable management options. Early detection and intervention are key in managing small bowel prolapse effectively. Treatment options may include lifestyle modifications, such as dietary changes and pelvic floor exercises, as well as surgical interventions in more severe cases.
