How does rectocele occur?

Rectocele is caused by the protrusion of the rectal wall toward the anus. Common causes include long-term constipation, intestinal inflammation, intestinal dysfunction, etc.

1. Long-term constipation

may lead to the disease, because constipation will make the feces in the intestine stay too long, thus increasing the pressure in the intestine and causing rectocele.

2. Intestinal inflammation

may also lead to rectocele, because inflammation will make the intestinal wall become loose and weak, increasing the risk of rectocele.

3. Intestinal dysfunction

will lead to feces in the intestine cannot be discharged normally. After the patient has forced defecation, it will cause rectocele.
