Postpartum rectocele

Hi all,

I developed a stage 1 rectocele around 7 months postpartum. I don’t have major symptoms — mainly just a small posterior bulge and no real pressure/heaviness. I actually noticed it after getting a really bad flu with intense coughing.

I’ve been doing pelvic floor PT for about a month now, and while some symptoms improved, the bulge itself is still there.

I’m looking for some hope honestly 😅 Has anyone here had a mild rectocele improve significantly or even completely resolve where you no longer noticed the bulge? If yes, what helped you the most?

Would really appreciate hearing positive experiences ❤️
