How concerning is a rectocele that visibly bulges into the vagina, may be causing constipation (const has other potential causes right now) and rectal bleeding. A few weeks ago there was vaginal bleeding which is gone, now the const started and so has the rectal bleeding. r bleeding des not *seem* to be related to hemorrhoids. mom is 3 months pp.

From experience, the bleeding isn't usually caused by the rect. A lot of women who get those also get a fissue, which is a tear in the rectum muscles. When the bowel movement happens, it reopens the wound.
My midwives gave me stool softeners, fiber solution, and anusol suppositories. After a 2-4 week period, the fissue is healed.
The rect. isn't dangerous in itself unless its outside of the vagina, and even then its not a complete danger.
