Misdiagnosis and Cystocele
Interstitial cystitis an under-diagnosed bladder condition: The medical
condition of interstitial cystitic is a bladder condition that can be
misdiagnosed as various conditions such as overactive bladder or other causes of pelvic pain.
This condition can cause chronic pelvic pain or symptoms of urinary incontinence,
similar to overactive bladder.
Millions of patients may be misdiagnosed - an estimated third of the 9 million women with
chronic pelvic pain (CPP) or 4.5 million of the 17 million women with overactive bladder syndrome
do not respond well to treatment, and may have interstitial cystitis rather than their given diagnosis.
In other words, about 6 million US women may have misdiagnosed interstitial cystitis.

Article Excerpts about Cystocele
A cystocele (SIS-tuh-seal) occurs when the wall
between a woman's bladder and her vagina weakens and lets the bladder
droop into the vagina. This condition may cause discomfort and problems
with emptying the bladder.
In some women, a fallen bladder stretches the opening into the urethra,
causing urine leakage when the woman coughs, sneezes, laughs, or does any
action that puts pressure on the bladder. So a bladder that has dropped
from its normal position may cause two kinds of problems--unwanted urine
leakage and incomplete emptying of the bladder.

Definitions of Cystocele:
Hernia in which the urinary bladder protrudes through the wall of the vagina; sometimes occurs after childbirth
