Normal Vagina Support (side view) - The support structure of the posterior vaginal wall is the rectovaginal fascia. Note the continuous nature of the rectovaginal fascia and its flat appearance. |
Rectocele (side view) - Note the break in the support structure known as the rectovaginal fascia. A break in the rectovaginal fascia allows the rectal wall to push directly against the vaginal epithelium (skin), thus creating a bulge or a rectocele. |
