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 a condition in which supportive tissues around the bladder and vaginal wall weaken and stretch, allowing the bladder and vaginal wall to fall into the vaginal canal. Usually, the muscles and connective tissues that support the vaginal wall hold the bladder in place.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -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.
