Most small rectoceles are asymptomatic, but symptoms of introital bulging, constipation, and incomplete rectal evacuation may occur. Physical examination may reveal bulging of the posterior vaginal wall through the introitus. A thin-walled protrusion of the rectovaginal septum into the lower part of the vagina is seen on internal vaginal examination.
