Urogynaecology
UroGynaecology, a subspecialty within Obstetrics and Gynaecology, is dedicated
to the treatment of women with pelvic floor disorders such as incontinence and
prolapse. Urinary incontinence, leakage of urine, is a very common condition
effecting women. Prolapse simply means a bulging or pressure sensation in the
vaginal area caused by displaced or falling female organs such as the bladder,
uterus, vagina or rectum. Prolapse and incontinence frequently occur together.
These are not a normal part of a woman's aging. Non-surgical and surgical
treatment is available for patients with these uncomfortable symptoms.
