Can't thank you enough for this video Kim - I have gone from depressed to hopeful in just 10 mins
:-)
Same. Thank you 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Yes, me also. Thank God for women who will share their experience so other women KNOW they are not alone with these type of problems. It is depressing and it wears you out!
Thank you for this video, I had a hysterectomy 6 years ago, and found out about having a rectocele and a cystocele a week ago. All any doctor wanted me to do over the last six years is a colonoscopy! No one examined me, and I have been through hell. I am getting a pessary fitted to avoid surgery, and hoping with that and managing the rectocele I will improve. Why as women we are not told about these things is beyond me. I am a very private person and this has been an awful experience. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Bev you are most welcome and I share your frustrations. My mission is to change that and ensure every woman know. I offer coaching if you ever want to explore working together. Vaginacoach.com
@@vaginacoach thank you so much, I will definitely check into your coaching. I believe what you are doing is so needed. I have vowed to help anyone else I can not go through what I have. 😎
OMG Im experiencing rectocele cystocele uterine and bladder prolapse all at the same time. The rectocele is giving me such pressure and pain! finally figuring how to move my bowel but only in the morning. it builds up during the day. I cannot tell if its just the "bulge" or bowel so I dont want to try and push i just suffer. One Dr says I need surgery while another dr says start with PT....IM SO CONFUSED!!! I agree with you why hasnt any one esp OBGYN ever mentioned this! I even went to the emergency room becuase I had no idea what was happening...and advice please my email is andrea@alsapphiregroup.com
I believe I have rectal prolapse. After hysterectomy no doc ever said anything
@@larryrosano1772 Hello, how are you? Did you go to surgery for rectocele? I just know that I have rectocele and feel like my life is over... I agree with you, obgyn should have warned every women about this, instead of let it happen and just tell us to accept like a apart of being women, if I know this earlier, I will never let it happen so bad like this, I am lost and very stress right now
Finally something that makes sense with a condition that has a name for the symptoms I've had since I had my daughter 28 years ago. Often having chronic constipation issues from age 16 and onwards I have also had to learn to have a better diet due to a type of eating disorder. I've seen a few Gastroenterologists over the years who gave me different diagnosis,one being internal haemorrhoids, after having too many colonoscopy procedures done. I am now in my early 50's and still having these same issues after having 3 children, through vaginal births(all adult age now) I have never had any relief and went on suffering. I will have to discuss this with my new Gynaecologist next week when I see her. I had surgery done about 4 1/2 weeks ago as they thought I had something like cancerous cells in my reproductive areas,two biopsies done were benign findings. I have been using a squatty potty for a few years as I found one online and thought it couldn't hurt to try. I do massages of my stomach during a bowel movement and kegel exercises too but it doesn't always help. I have been on a wheat elimination diet for 7 years due to having a protein allergy and been under Specialists care for several years. When I did try to force a BM out I would have a twisting of the rectal muscles that left me in agony for hours after and ended up having to medicate for the pain,I did suffer in silence for many years.
❤🙏🏼
Thank you. So much of what you have said has proved to be so helpful and healing. I would never have thought that I could get such good help this way. Thank you for being open and frank about a topic that is so personal.
Yes, thank you so much for being open and sharing. This helps women so much who need to know they are not alone.
Very informative. Thanks!
Thank you , very informative.
Thank you for this video!!
Andrea Voyek you're welcome!
Thank you great info
Very helpful tips. Thank you.
Thank you for this education
you are very welcome!
Thank you! I thought I was the only one who has to push on my perineum (the small area outside the body between the vagina and anus openings), or push inside the vaginal wall in order to get the poop out of a corner that it’s stuck in (like it’s herniated into the vagina because it was weakened or perhaps from pushing too hard when trying to get the poop to exit) idk if that’s correct, I’m just learning. What’s so awful is that sometimes I must put my finger all the way inside my rectom to find the hard pebbles of poo and pull them out. I don’t have a good BM until they are gone! I’m afraid if left there hiding in a corner or my rectom it could cause what? Cancer? I don’t know yet, just learning. Thankfully and unfortunately this video is the best explanation I’ve found on RUclips! I’m not finding med professionals on RUclips explaining it. I’m finding talks about only rectal prolapse outside the anus. I have a little bit of hemorrhoid tissue outside the anus which doesn’t get too swollen and can kinda be pushed back in after having a BM. This is awful! And I had to explain this (in less detail) to my husband. 😳
I’ve told my GI doctor about it and he said to see the colorectal surgeon. if it bothers me too much. I mean I hate doing those procedures to have a BM, but I’m more worried about becoming old and needing the surgery which is always more dangerous than doing it at a young 48 years old lol. I’m glad to find another woman going through this but am sorry for your anguish too!
Do you know if it can cause disease or cancer or severe problems when elderly. I hate to get surgery but even more so when I become elderly. Thanks again!
I’ve had almost exact problem for 20 years after getting celiac disease and constipation. if the poop is the exact right texture, sometimes I can push it out by using a squatty potty. If it is the least bit hard, I have to use lubricant and a rubber glove and dig it out with my finger which is very difficult. Sometimes I can use a rubber syringe and water to wash out any remaining stool.
Thank you for this. Not a lot on rectocele online.
Awesome. I believe prlvic floor exercise and core care is something we must be taught and encouraged to do, like brushing our teeth, proper self care, etc. I had no idea this was so important or what to do plus it's not something that was talked about properly or with care and respect while I was growing up. Women's healthcare in North America has been taking steps backwards these past few decades.
totally agree!
When this is combined with IBS is gets even more complicated. I have been living with the situation for a few years. Usually elimate morning and before bed but I must sit patiently so as not to force things. One annoying problem is gas on occasion.
Thanks for the information...helpful. I am finally getting to see a specialist next month - I have never had an examination for this condition. I am hoping to avoid surgery.
have you worked with a pelvic floor physiotherapist? How about someone to help with your diet?
@@vaginacoach No, to both questions. Thank you for them. I will see if the upcoming specialist appointment sheds any light. I am In BC also - the interior.
Hello, how is your status right now? Is it get better? I just figure out i have rectocele stage 2 and kind of very stress right now
This helped me more than any doctor has. They’re always pushing surgery but I have an autoimmune disease so I’m scared it’s been 6yrs of lose stools and stomach pain
so glad you found it helpful. I know how challenging it can be. Improving your gut health and getting good sleep are 2 things I would recommend prioritizing.
Thanks Love.
Thank you 🙏 i’ m dippresd and craing oll the day, please tell me more about rhe serjary i need to do it! I have no life…
I have several programs that can help. www.vaginacoach.com
Unfortunately I'm on a plethora of pain meds and constipation is one of the side effects of everyone! I mentioned to my Dr months ago that I had to push on my perineum to empty my bowels and she said that's perfectly normal. Over the past few months I've noticed that I have to put my finger or thumb in my vagina to have a poo. Unfortunately my poo is like different sized stones/rocks! I Googled it and sure enough it's a rectocele! I am getting a squatty potty and something that can get further in my vagina rather than me having to use my finger I'll definitely try a tampon first. Thanks so much for this video, the info is invaluable to me xxx
HI Kristy - so glad you found this helpful. Managing constipation with medication can be tough. Have you consulted with a naturopath and/or Chines Medicine doctor? A squatty potty is a great tool.
Kim Vopni - The Vagina Coach there's not many naturapaths in Scotland, I tried a Chinese herbalist before and it didn't help that much. I use little enemas that I get from the doctor and they're pretty good xx

A pelvic floor physio is brilliant
@@monticae Go see a gynecologist as well. They should be able to give you advice on how to help that and recommendation for a pelvic floor physical therapist.
Thank u❤
Great advice thankyou so much don't feel so much like a freak anymore .😊
No wonder squatting worked so well when I back-packed!!
Kim Vopni - The Vagina Coach: Hi Kim, thanks for this very helpful video - it's great to know I'm not alone. What do you think about coffee enemas or warm water enemas every week/two weeks or so? I'm fed up with this pressurised, swollen feeling! My diet is excellent, high in fibre/juicy veg and low in starchy foods. I find psyllium husk in water helpful to create bulk but they're a bit gassy. The weird thing is although I'm in my mid-60s I feel I've always had a slight rectocele, even as a child - hard to have a good BM, protruding tummy and often trapped wind and pains - a doc told me when I was a kid never to eat white bread, pastries or too many potatoes. After your video I'm making a huge effort to get back to the Kegels. I also wonder here if anyone else has had good results with irrigation/home enemas (following all safety precautions of course!!!). Thanks again!!!
I don't know of anyone who uses enemas so can't comment fully. There are benefits beyond prolapse :-) . You can try this fibre supplement www.yeswellness.com/natural-factors-organic-reliefibre-low-fodmap-tropical-flavour-200g.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw8e7mBRBsEiwAPVxxiBVOSlUPTDevVsOi9-dNrtro9n4opdG357rFvp_efXeWOK-bDM5aPRoCfukQAvD_BwE to help with gas. You may want to try an elimination diet and try the AIP protocol (you can add foods back in but it is so helpful to eliminate trigger foods - you would be surprised!)
Helpful video in a few areas I needed to hear.Thank you! After many tests, I was recently diagnosed with rectocele, cystocele, AND pelvic floor dysfunction/animus. Yippee, lucky me! :-/ So here I am, struggling to figure out how to balance these three nasties.Tempted to start hanging upside down! Instead, getting physical therapy and biofeedback with very slow progress. I'd like to get a biofeedback machine for home, to help me re-learn how to relax down there, but I don't know where to get one. All the electronic devices are for the vagina, not the rectum. And should I even be tightening the vagina, when my rectum won't relax? Any advice on that would be appreciated. I know it's complex. Your video is on rectocele mainly.
glad you found it helpful. The diagnosis can sting and bit quite overwhelming. Glad you are working with a pelvic floor physical therapist. That will remain essential - at least once a year. In terms of down regulating and releasing tension... I highly recommend my release program... it has a lot of exercises plus the hypopressive technique which could also help your cystocele. www.vaginacoach.com/kegel-mojo-release. I also offer coaching if you prefer one on one work. Home use biofeedback units may not provide as much help as you think and you could spend a bunch of money trying to find the right one. Happy to help support you!
Thank you for this video. I have this but haven’t been given this much info on it. I fear I’m in the severe stages now can I do anything? I’m bleeding from vagina and sometimes back passage
glad you found it helpful. If you are bleeding, I recommend seeing your doctor to determine the cause.
Hello, thank you sm for this video! I was going to say that mine is too high up to push against when on the loo, so I can’t do that sadly, and I was also going to ask if using mensural cups would make this problem worse?
menstrual cups can offer support for some but prolapse can sometimes interfere with comfort and with fit of the cup. If you do find a cup that works then ensure you always break the seal before removing it so as not to create drag that could potentially exacerbate prolapse symptoms.
Hi Kim,love the background,just came back from a road trip to Vic,loved it,but hate being back in the cold Alta weather.I have some questions? I’m 57 & have had bowel issues 36 years,after childbirth ( lots of problems with it, have been to proctologist’s, a kink in my lower bowel is the culprit) I was told never to let my bowels get backed up,& to take a laxative to clean out by bowels every week or two. I am having some vagnal issues for a few months now,sex is non existent, & it is so painful if we try,seems like the opening has closed shut( kinda like there are bones closed up) I know it’s not my uterus,as every Dr that has examined me always thinks I’ve had a hysterectomy & I have not. Iam scared and embarrassed,I have always used a stool when having a b.m.,& now when I have gas it comes up through my vagina to relece,& it’s not vagina gas,it’s bowel gas,it’s a strange feeling,( no pain though). Don’t no if it’s a prolapse,and now I’m in a new town and have not got a new Dr yet,menopause haven’t started yet,but my last period was last April,& no sign of it,but it’s coming🧚♀️.Thanks Kim for touching base on these topics. MCC🙏🇨🇦🇬🇧
Hi everyone I was diagnosed with a rectocele 2.7cm cystocele & cervical prolapse..It's been the most humiliating experience I've ever gone through. To tell abit of my story on how I got Pelvic floor issues I was using meth heavy and it messed up my whole lower G.I. still dealing with it all seeing 3 different specialist I have poop&gas odor and it's soo humiliating!!!!! Physical therapy isn't helping I still have all bad symptoms 😢 Don't know what else to do..I'm so depressed over this..
I ended up having surgery for my Rectocele 15 months ago. I share about my story on my blog www.vaginacoach.com/blog
@@vaginacoach I could not find your story about surgery. Can you please share the link about this? I want to know more about this, how it feels after surgery and why do you decide to have surgery, thanks
What was the name of the method tour were talking about? I couldn't understand even after listening several times. Thanks
BB Jonas Hypopressive Method :-)
I have been dealing with this for a while now. But I wish someone had told me this sooner. I have been told I have a small rectocele but it seems to get worse as time goes by. About a year ago it got to the point that I had to use more stool softeners to be able to have a bm. Then it was I could no longer have a regular bm only if it was super soft. Now only a tiny straw like amount comes out or only liquid. I have tried inserting my fingers but nothing works. I drink a lot of prune juice. On top of that I have had multiple incomplete lesions on my spine from recurrent transverse myelitis. So that complicated things too. Honestly I would give anything to be able to just go once or even twice and be done. And I get autonomic dysreflexia every day from this. It is so frustrating.
I hear that all the time and also wish that this was screened fro regularly. I would be happy to help give you some options for improving your stool and elimination and improving your pelvic floor muscles. calendly.com/vaginacoach/coaching-consult
@@vaginacoach I checked out your website and I watched a few more videos and I was able to finally clear it by using my thumb. Thank you so much for everything. I would like to buy your program but I wonder if all the excercises are ones I can do. I also can’t sit on anything directly without a special cushion. I have RA and my sacral joints are very bad. I have to sit on a special cushion. But I already have so much more hope. Thank you so very much!! You were an answer to my prayers
I have painful pressure
The doo-doo technique was most instructive and effective...
after my 4th i used my menstrual cup inserted upside down. its flexible so it kinda didnt allow my body to completely give up, but it supported things enough for things to come out but stay in where they belong. :P
that's creative!
@@vaginacoach its all i could think of :P
obviously, the stem is cut off of tht one.
Question!!! Can a rectocele cause poop & gas odor..It's like I have fecal incontinence but it's not..It's been tough on me😡🥺😭
Gas and stool can get trapped ... Rectocele itself doesn't have an odor.
Hello, I saw you had surgery after 9 years staying with rectocele? What made you decide having surgery? Why did not you do the surgery at begining? And how do you feel after the surgery? Is it the correct decision? I just knowing I have rectocele after gave birth last month, at stage 2. I am not sure I should go for a surgery or living with it
You can read all about it here www.vaginacoach.com/blog/my-decision-to-have-prolapse-surgery-rectocele-repair
@@vaginacoach Thanks Kim, Did you have kids after having rectocele? I am not sure if the pregnant will make it worse because I really want to have one more kid. I am not sure if I should get surgery now or wait, I am at stage 2 too and I am 34 years old. I watched video about you living with it for 9 years, brought me some hope, like you can deal with that, then I can. But then you decided to get surgery made me feel like it will never better, and I consider to get surgery now, I am kind of depress and stress knowing that I have this, kind of can not accept this is the true, I am lost
@@TuanNguyen-he2hz I was done having kids. If you want another child, I would wait and have the surgery after you are done having kids. In the meantime, work on strengthening your pelvic floor, do hypopressives, see a pelvic floor physio if possible and manage your bowels. Doing all of that may reduce or eliminate symptoms. If not, and if you decide to go ahead with surgery I have a program to help support you through the process.
@@TuanNguyen-he2hz afther surgery you can have more kids, but it has to be c-cection
I am 24 and have this... I feel a bulge and my bowels are difficult. Do you think everything can go back to normal and that I will be able to have smooth bowel movements ? I never had a kid I have no idea why I have this..
Hey you:) I get you so much! I am 19 and have a rectocele for a year now. I suppose that I got it because of my eating disorder and therefore severe constipation I haad for years. What I found is that my rectocele gets better and worse from time to time. A few months ago I had absolutely normal and smooth bowel movements and elimination, but now that I'm under a lot more stress and just started working as a nurse (which means irregular rhythm), it's worse, which scares me tbh. But I think it's really important to remember that it can get better but at times it also can get worse, but then it can get better again
Sameee I'm 24 too.
@@hannalea68 i’m dealing with this at 20 and it’s absolutely dehumanizing. Would you mind getting in contact to talk about how you manage it at this young age? It feels so unfair
@@ninii3 yess of course!! Maybe give me your instagram name?
I know you said it feels like you have something in your vagina, but I actually feel like I have something in my rectum all the time, like I need to bare down constantly even if nothing comes out and im wondering if this is what I have. I have ibs so I do strain a lot. It's gotten to the point where it effects me all day, every day. It's extremely uncomfortable. I have all of the same symptoms mentioned except it feels like I have something in my bum not my vagina.
yes - it can feel like you have stool stuck in there (which can make you feel like something is in the rectum but the bulge it creates can sometimes be felt in the vagina as well). Best to get an assessment by a pelvic floor physical therapist to find out for sure.
Same with me the bulge is in my rectum not my vagina 😢
I have the same feeling and can go to the loo 6 times a day producing just the lump that pressed into my vagina but big enough to feel mostly in my backside. I've had to give up hiking because hiking pushes the stool out. So embarrassing.
Do the exercises now. Make it a habit like brushing your teeth. It will get eorse if you dont exercise. Good nutrition and mental health too. Dump all the idiots in your life. I have an anal fisdure plus prolspses. I had no idea that i was supposed to exercise these ateas and how important it is to fo every day. It ought to be a routine like brushing our teeth. Men get problems too. Now I just received confirmation that it's all infected down there.
Do go yo the foctor and do get a COLONOSCOPY. Stop all junk food.
Will running make rectocele worse? Thank you.
BB Jonas not necessarily. It is not about the exercise but more about the strategy. That being said...sustained impact on a floor that may not be optimized could exacerbate it. Work with a pelvic floor physio to help manage it.
Kim Vopni - The Vagina Coach thank you so much. Just got the news and I've been a runner since a teenager and I'm devastated. This gives me some hope.
BB Jonas it can be difficult to process but there is so much you can do! Check out my pelvic floor fitness program www.kegelmojo.com It will give you education and exercise :-).
I have complete prolapse. Vault, rectocele, cystocele and tight rectal muscles. I’m glad I found your channel. I also have hEDS. Had hysterectomy in 2020 and rectocele repair. Didn’t know I had hEDS at the time. This is getting so bad. I’m doing all the management tools and seeing a PFPT and my diet, I’ve completely changed. I still can’t get stool consistency right. Stool is soft and first BM usually comes out ok like you said. The. I spend the rest of the day feeling like I have to poop even when o don’t. I’ve seen CRS, urogynecologist, gynecologists, urologist, can’t wear a pessary as it was interfering with BM Ben before my vault prolapsed and rectocele got bad again. Psyllium worked for awhile but made stool too big as I also have hemorrhoids and chronic fissures. I also drink tons of water 💧 and stretch and do PFPT exercises every day. It’s frustrating. I feel lost. It’s likely surgery will fail again but I have a really crappy quality of life. No pun intended. 😢
Just diagnosed today. I feel like I need to push a baby out 😢
Do you recommend Traditional Chinese medicine?
I end up so frustrated that a small piece that won't come out thru vaginal manipulation, I have to pull the poo marbles out rectally. And I've tried to eat so that things are more loose, but I have hemorrhoids and I can never wipe clean, unless I wipe for 5+ mins. I'm so frustrated. There is no easy way to evacuate completely or at least feel that way. Girl, thank you for his video. Glad I'm not alone.
I love Chines Medicine. They are herbs and acupuncture that can help with stool as well so investigate that with your practitioner. Have you tried splinting vaginally? I would also see a holistic nutritionist to help you improve the consistency of your stool so you can get closer to #4 on the Bristol Stool chart. That will help immensely!
This might be off topic but is it common to have spasms and burning sensation during sex with a prolapse. I do see a Pelvic specialist and she is awesome but im so confused.
spasms and burning could potentially be attributed to a prolapse but it is perhaps more likely for it to be tight, overactive muscles. Glad you are working with a pelvic floor physio!
@@vaginacoach Thank you . That really helps .
I’m a male who has had ibs for years and devoloped some sort of prolapse it has gotten worse at least Ik im not alone
Hi Henry sorry to hear. For males, the rectum can bulge out the anus (can happen in women too). It is a rectal prolapse.
I have a rectocele which is only visible when I poop. I splint all the time while pooping. There's no other problem. Just recently came to know that I shouldn't do high impact exercises with rectocele. But I love my high impact exercises and would love to be fitter, and start lifting eventually. I want some advices on that.
It used to be advised to avoid high impact but I believe with pelvic floor exercise and proper technique in exercise we can do whatever we love.
@@vaginacoach thank you so much for replying. I felt like I have to give up a big part of my life.
I thought had hemorhhoids. Did colonoscopy. No help. Finally said prolapsed V. Feels.like hem in wrong place. Been miserablew. Wonder if my court Roth sitting job caused this. Having prob eliminating now. More broccoli in order😅😄
pelvic floor physical therapy 🙂
Excuse the typos. Court reporter. Endless hrs sitting.
Can this condition cause infertility?
I do not know of any correlation between rectocele and infertility
My partner and I want to try to get pregnant, and I have a rectocele (confirmed by my proctologist). Can pregnancy make it worse and/or will the rectocele make the pregnancy painful? Thank you
many factors can go into prolapse and pregnancy and birth can be contributors but there are many things you can do to minimize the onset. I cover it all in my program Prepare To Push. www.preparetopush.com
dont wory no think wll hapen I have this problem and my pregnancy was perfect
Labor caused mine, I would assume it could make it worse too tbh
@@darktalesmystic I ended up giving birth 4 months ago and all was fine :)
@@wreckedwillow hey congratulations😊
Did you feel any pain or difficulty during pregnancy period and on delivery?
I'm male. I have this problem. Is there an odour for you, because of the trapped gas?
As a male you do not have a vagina for the organ to bulge into so it would be a different issue. I recommend seeking the help of a pelvic floor specialist who treats males.
@@vaginacoach Yeah, I don't have a vagina, however, I have a rectum. That means, genius, that I might have similar symptoms like constipation. I suspected dyssynergic defection, rectal stricture, rectal descent, colon descent, sigmoid volvulus and enterocele. Rectal descent is confirmed. Dyssynergic defecation confirmed. I there trapped gas with your rectocele? Do people with this have the feeling to fart? Does this gas escape without notice? Thanks.
@@xierxu I have this issue and do have the feeling to fart and the gas does not come out without notice. Sometimes it does get stuck in the pocket (I don't know how that would compare to male anatomy since mine can be remedied with the digital relief method she mentioned) but does eventually come out. There is also no odor usually. Hopefully that helps a little bit.
Does exercise make this worse? I've been feeling a little "full"when I exercise. I'm about 9 months postpartum and trying to get back to a workout schedule. I am seeing a pelvic floor physiotherapist about my pelvic floor after baby. I'm not jumping yet but slow jogging and some light hopping is causing me to feel this fullness. I see I should be eating more because I drink alot of water but I don't poop like that. But trying to lose weight. I'm actually feeling hopeless at this point! With diet, constipation, losing weight, pelvic floor, now this rectocele..
movement and exercise is important for many reasons and avoiding movement can make symptoms worse and can make the prolapse worse too. It is important to ensure you have good lifting and movement strategies so as not to increase intra-abdominal pressure beyond what your pelvic floor can manage. Glad you are seeing a pelvic floor physio. Find what you can do without the symptoms and work on your core re-training. My 28 day challenge is ideal for that - started yesterday but you can register until Friday. vaginacoach.com and click on Buff Muff challenge.
Hi Keithy, how are you doing? Do you get better? I just know that I have rectocele after give birth last month, I feel very stress right now, feel like mylife is over, dont know if i should or for surgery or not
@@TuanNguyen-he2hz I will have surgery in about one month...its two years postpartum for me, and i think surgery is the only solution.If it means anything i can share with you how i feel afther...?
@@draganajaksic1018Now you well
What about when you have a 6cm diameter xtra (pocket, balloon, ECT) area right inside your anus and is catching any stool? Vaginal manipulation is not effective. I have tried standing, slightly bent at the hips and pushing by my rectum and it squirted out every where.. But that is rare and only if days full. I'm in misery and it seems one dr just sends me to another and that takes weeks. I don't have weeks. I shit the bed last week in my sleep all over. When do drs listen? It's been 2 years.n I even had surgery in June for this and it's worse.. my question is when do Drs listen?
sorry to hear about your struggles. The right doctor will listen...it is just unfortunate that it can take some time to find the right one. Have you worked with a pelvic floor physical therapist?
I’m so sorry. I’ve had the same frustrations with Drs and a failed hysterectomy leading to 3 prolapses and major issues
