You may actually be able to feel a lump or protrusion. You may experience pain in your vagina, back or tummy (abdomen). Sometimes, you may also notice a discharge from your vagina, which may be blood-stained or smelly.

Why does my prolapse smell?

If your prolapse is severe, a pessary may not work. Also, pessaries can be irritating inside your vagina and may cause a foul-smelling discharge.

Does Cystocele cause odor?

If you had a cystocele repair, the bladder catheter often needs to stay in longer—sometimes 2-6 days. This will allow the bladder more time to begin to work normally. You may notice an odor and/or bloody discharge from the vagina for 1-2 weeks.
