How is a cystocele diagnosed?
A Grade 2 or Grade 3 cystocele can be diagnosed from a description of symptoms and from an examination of the vagina.
The doctor may also perform certain tests, including the following:
- Urodynamics: Measures the bladder’s ability to hold and release urine.
- Cystoscopy (cystourethroscopy): A long tube-like instrument is passed through the urethra to examine the bladder and urinary tract for malformations, blockages, tumors, or stones.
