Which term means a hernia of the bladder?
A
cystalgia
B
cystitis
C
cystocele
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A cystocele ― also known as a prolapsed, herniated, dropped or fallen bladder (where your urine or “water” is stored) ― occurs when ligaments that hold your bladder up and the muscle between a woman’s vagina and bladder stretches or weakens, allowing the bladder to sag into the vagina.

Detailed explanation-2: -A cystocele is when the wall between the bladder and the vagina weakens. This can cause the bladder to drop or sag into the vagina. It may be caused by things that increase pressure on the pelvic muscles. Treatment depends on the severity of the cystocele.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both rectocele and cystocele are conditions that involve pelvic organs shifting out of place because of a weakened pelvic floor. With a rectocele, weaknesses in the pelvic floor cause the rectum to bulge onto your back vaginal wall. With a cystocele, weaknesses cause your bladder to bulge onto the front vaginal wall.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cystocele repair (anterior colporrhaphy) repairs the hernia of the wall between the bladder and vagina. This procedure can ease chronic discomfort from a bulging vagina and difficulty emptying the bladder.
