Thank you so much for your insightful post. Indeed, women endure several health problems compared to men. Women’s experiences with childbirth, menstrual cycles, and menopause predispose them to considerable health issues. For example, post-menopausal women are increasingly predisposed to fractures due to hormonal imbalances compared to men. The difference in men’s and women’s reproductive systems also plays a role in pathology development. For example, the complexity of women’s reproductive systems makes them highly susceptible to conditions such as ovarian cysts and fibroids as compared to men. Additionally, women carry pregnancies, which increase their risk of pelvic floor problems (Winter et al., 2024). Recovery from childbirth also places women vulnerable to mental health problems such as post-partum psychosis. Consequently, women are disadvantaged in reproductive health issues, unlike men.

I agree that women have an increased risk of developing cystocele than men. As noted above, pelvic changes due to childbirth can result in pelvic floor weakness. The weakness can cause bladder herniation to the anterior vaginal wall. Cystocele has immense physical, emotional, and psychological trauma to the affected populations. Families should provide the affected women adequate social support to facilitate coping with functional change in cystocele. Indeed, patients with cystocele express symptoms such as feelings of vaginal pressure, urinary changes, sexual dysfunction, and difficulty with defecating. In some cases, a physical examination might reveal bladder bulging at the vaginal opening. The diagnostic approaches that can be utilized in cystocele are different. Healthcare providers should obtain a comprehensive history from clients and perform a detailed physical examination (Song et al., 2023). Radiological investigations such as MRI or CT scans might be ordered for accurate diagnoses.
