Today, we’re going to talk about cystocele. To put it simply, a cystocele is when part or all of the bladder herniates into the vagina. This form of prolapse is the most common among the different types of pelvic organ prolapse, and that’s the case for Maryse, who is affected by it. Even though surgery is inevitable for her, the Emy Trainer device has helped her feel better in her body.
The key points of Maryse’s journey:
- How it feels to have a weakened pelvic floor: Affected by a bladder prolapse, Maryse had to deal with her surgery being postponed and looked for a solution to cope better with the wait.
- Greater muscle awareness: By using the Emy Trainer device, she learned to feel her muscles and better understand how her pelvic floor works in everyday life.
- Real physical relief: Find out how pelvic floor training with Emy Trainer helped her reduce the feeling of heaviness before her procedure.
When cystocele surgery is inevitable…
Can you introduce yourself and explain why you started using Emy?
Diagnosed with a prolapse, to be specific a cystocele, I was supposed to have surgery for my bladder prolapse but unfortunately lockdown prevented that, so the operation had to be postponed.
I then turned to the Emy Trainer device to avoid it getting worse before my cystocele surgery. So far, it seems to be working and I’ve been able to become aware of my pelvic floor! I’m now waiting for my operation, which is scheduled for early October.

Do you think enough is being said about urinary leakage?
No. And even though I don’t have urinary leakage, I still regret that my doctor never talked to me about pelvic floor training at all, before I had my prolapse.
The women we meet often tell us that Emy is too expensive, what do you think?
I disagree; I don’t think the Emy Trainer device is that expensive…
