Rectocele, or posterior prolapse, occurs when the vagina bulges into the rectum due to the weakening of the thin wall of tissue (fascia) that separates them. Childbirth is one cause of rectocele; a small prolapse may have no symptoms, and a large prolapse may be uncomfortable but rarely painful.
Weather Advisory: Temporary Door Closure
Due to extreme cold, access through the Moakley Building's entrance off Boston Medical Center Place will be temporarily closed from 5 p.m. Friday, Jan. 30, through 7 a.m. Monday, Feb. 2.
All patients and visitors should use the main entrance for the Menino and Yawkey Buildings during this time. The hospital remains open and operating as normal.
We appreciate your patience as we take these precautions during severe winter weather.
