Cystocele can be caused by straining the muscles that support the pelvic organs — anything that weakens the supportive tissue between a woman's bladder and vaginal wall that causes the bladder to bulge into the vagina unnaturally.
This type of straining can occur during vaginal childbirth, chronic constipation, violent coughing or heavy lifting. The decrease in estrogen levels that happens during menopause can also be a contributor to forming a cystocele. A woman’s chance of developing a cystocele increases with age, possibly because aging tends to weaken the muscles and supportive tissues of the pelvic floor. Whether menopause increases a woman’s chances of developing a cystocele is unclear.
