Cystocele is when the bladder sags into the vagina. The goal of surgery is to repair the problem and relieve symptoms.

A device (pessary) to wear in your vagina can help ease your symptoms. You may also be given certain exercises (Kegels) and asked to make lifestyle changes.

You may go home the day of surgery, or you may stay in the hospital for 1 or more days. The length of your stay is based on the surgery you had.
