Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
Noted your medical and medication history.

It seems that you have a rectocele. It may certainly occur after hysterectomy.
Also needed is to see whether cystocele is also present or not.
You should see a Gynecologist for further clinical evaluation and treatment options.

This is not a dangerous condition.
I hope this answers your query, please feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
