Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A nontender protrusion into the anterior vaginal wall typically suggests a cystocele, which is a herniation of the bladder into the anterior vaginal wall. Inflammation of the Skene's gland would not cause a protrusion into the vaginal wall, and typically presents with tenderness. Prolapsed uterus would involve the cervix descending into the vagina rather than a protrusion into the vaginal wall. Rectocele is a bulging of the rectum into the posterior vaginal wall, not the anterior vaginal wall.
