urethrocele (urethral prolapse)

a urethrocele is a form of pelvic organ prolapse in which the urethra—the tube that carries urine from the bladder to outside of the body—moves from its normal position and presses against the front wall of the vagina. this is also called anterior vaginal wall prolapse. it can happen when the muscles and tissues that hold the urethra in place get weak or damaged.
