UROGYNAECOLOGY
“We are unique in providing care by a specially trained doctor (urogynaecologist), pelvic floor physiotherapy, urodynamics, and all relevant surgical procedures under one roof.”
Urogynaecology is a sub-specialty of Gynaecology, which deals with clinical problems associated with dysfunction of the pelvic floor and urinary bladder. Pelvic floor disorders affect the urinary bladder, reproductive organs, and bowels. Common pelvic floor disorders include urinary incontinence (urinary leakage), pelvic organ prolapse and faecal incontinence (stool leakage). It also involves the care the care of women who have experienced trauma to the perineum during childbirth. Urogynaecology problems are seldom life-threatening, but they do have a major impact on the quality of life of affected individuals. Thus, quality of life improvement is a treatment goal, and there is a major focus on optimising symptoms using conservative measures before embarking on more invasive treatments.
