Cystocele and rectocele? Pelvic organ prolapse?

Can you diagnosis a cystocele and rectocele within the vaginal introitus from a ct scan abdomen/pelvis w/contrast? Or a pelvic organ prolapse?

No imaging needed. Can be diagnosed with a physical exam.
Nowadays, diagnosing cystocele with/without rectocele is not difficult by an adequate history-taking and physical examination including expertise bimanual pelvic vaginal examination. Of course, what is concerned and what is identified have to be clinically correlated with individual clinical symptoms before deciding what is needed to be done. At times, CT may be helpful but practically and rarely needed. To assist you in going through the above-mentioned care, please read the post What Should You Do When You Feel and Become Sick?

Yes, but it should be obvious on a pelvic exam.
