The combining forms reflect the rectum (recto-, -rectal) and uterus (utero-, -uterine). In Obstetrics and gynaecology, it is commonly referred to as the pouch of Douglas or the posterior cul-de-sac. [7] The Douglas fold (rectouterine plica), Douglas line, and Douglas septum are likewise named after the same James Douglas.
This cyst originates from epithelium tissue that has been 'trapped' from surgery, episiotomy, or other trauma. It is most often found on the lower posterior vaginal wall. [22] [2] An epidermoid cyst is one type of vaginal cyst. [23] Inclusion cysts are small and located on the posterior, lower end of the vagina.
[12] [13] Vaginal cysts can be small protrusions into the vagina that can be felt or palpated by a clinician. Vaginal inclusion cysts can appear as small bumps and can develop after childbirth. [12] Other small structures or protrusions can be Gartner's duct cysts, patches of endometrial tissue, and benign tumors.
In women, the condition usually occurs when the pelvic floor collapses after gynecological cancer treatment, childbirth or heavy lifting. [2] Injury incurred to fascia membranes and other connective structures can result in cystocele, rectocele or both. Treatment can involve dietary and lifestyle changes, physical therapy, or surgery.

Culdoscopy is an endoscopic procedure performed to examine the rectouterine pouch and pelvic viscera by the introduction of a culdoscope through the posterior vaginal wall. [1] The word culdoscopy (and culdoscope) is derived from the term cul-de-sac, which means literally in French "bottom of a sac", and refers to the rectouterine pouch (or called the pouch of Douglas).
A nabothian cyst (or nabothian follicle) [1] is a mucus-filled cyst on the surface of the cervix. They are most often caused when stratified squamous epithelium of the ectocervix (portion nearest to the vagina) grows over the simple columnar epithelium of the endocervix (portion nearest to the uterus). This tissue growth can block the cervical ...
Its purpose is to reduce the cystourethrocele and to reposition the uterus within the pelvis. The major steps of the intervention are listed below: Preliminary dilatation and curettage; Amputation of cervix; strengthening the cervix by suturing cut end of Mackenrodt ligament in front of cervix; Anterior colporrhaphy; Posterior colpoperineorrhaphy
