Urogynaecology in Leicester

Urogynaecology is a subspecialty within gynaecology and urology that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic floor disorders in women. These conditions often affect the bladder, reproductive organs, and bowel, commonly resulting in issues like urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and overactive bladder. Urogynaecologists are specially trained to manage complex problems related to the pelvic floor, which can arise from childbirth, ageing, or surgery. Treatments range from lifestyle modifications and physical therapy to advanced surgical interventions, depending on the severity of the condition. Urogynaecology plays a crucial role in improving the quality of life for women suffering from pelvic floor dysfunction, helping them regain control and comfort in their daily activities. These treatments may include pelvic floor exercises, medication, and procedures like bladder slings or prolapse repair. A holistic approach is used to ensure the best outcomes for each patient’s unique needs.

Pelvic floor treatments provide many benefits, especially for women dealing with problems like urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, or sexual issues. These treatments help make the pelvic muscles stronger and tighter, which improves bladder control, lowers the chance of prolapse, and boosts sexual health. They can also reduce pelvic pain and aid in recovery after childbirth. Non-invasive methods, such as pelvic floor exercises and biofeedback, often help manage symptoms without needing surgery. For more serious conditions, treatments like surgery offer effective long-term solutions. Overall, pelvic floor treatments lead to a better quality of life and more physical comfort.

Urogynaecology is a specialized field within gynaecology and urology that focuses on diagnosing and treating pelvic floor disorders in women, such as urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and bladder dysfunction.

Urogynaecologists treat conditions like urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, pelvic organ prolapse, fecal incontinence, recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), and complications from childbirth or surgery affecting the pelvic floor.

Pelvic floor disorders can be caused by a variety of factors including childbirth, aging, menopause, obesity, chronic coughing, heavy lifting, or previous pelvic surgeries. Genetics may also play a role in some cases.

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the pelvic muscles and tissues supporting the bladder, uterus, or rectum become weak or damaged, causing one or more of these organs to drop or press into the vaginal canal.

Treatment for urinary incontinence varies based on its cause and severity, and may include lifestyle changes, pelvic floor exercises (Kegels), medications, bladder training, or surgical interventions such as sling procedures.

You should consider seeing a urogynaecologist if you experience symptoms like persistent urinary leakage, difficulty emptying your bladder, frequent UTIs, a feeling of pelvic heaviness or bulging, or issues with bowel control.

Common diagnostic tests in urogynaecology include urodynamic testing (to evaluate bladder function), pelvic ultrasounds, cystoscopy (to examine the bladder), and MRI scans. A physical exam is also typically performed to assess the pelvic floor.

No, surgery is not always necessary. Many women benefit from non-surgical treatments such as pelvic floor physical therapy, pessaries (a device inserted into the vagina to support pelvic organs), or lifestyle modifications. Surgery is usually considered for more severe cases.

A pessary is a removable device inserted into the vagina to support organs affected by prolapse. It helps alleviate symptoms of discomfort or pressure caused by pelvic organ prolapse and can often delay or avoid the need for surgery.

While not all pelvic floor disorders are preventable, maintaining a healthy weight, doing regular pelvic floor exercises, avoiding heavy lifting, treating chronic coughs, and practicing good bladder habits can help reduce your risk.
