Child

Child abuse has no relation to this injury, unless there is severe injury. I have removed this statement. It will need solid evidence to support its inclusion. JustAnMD (talk) 04:01, 21 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Child abuse linked to anismus, a cause of obstructed defecation. Straining against a contracted levator ani would lead to increased pressure in the rectum (shown in internal rectal prolapse), and perhaps increased chance of developing rectocele. I never read anything like this though, agree remove if no evidence.23_2{(SBST:SU:m.}} (talk) 00:09, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Episiotomy or lower vaginal tears play little role in the formation of a cystocele.

I am wondering why this statement is in this article? Is it a typo, and should it read ...formation of a "rectocele"? Please bear with me if I have done this wrongly. I am a newbie. Louiseds (talk) 07:58, 24 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
