Enterocele - a condition where part of the intestine bulges into the upper vagina or into other areas of the pelvis. If this causes a twist or constriction in the intestine this can cause problems with the passage of contents. Other problems can then arise, e.g. inflammation and/or distension, bloating (swelling) and/or there can be blockages which are intermittent or permanent. Any of these conditions can cause pain which can range from mild to excruciating.
