Gleneagles Hospitals manages a wide range of urogynecological conditions that affect the pelvic floor, bladder, and bowel function. Some patients visit the hospital soon after symptoms appear, while others seek help after living with discomfort for years. In both cases, proper assessment plays a key role.
Urinary Incontinence: This includes leakage of urine during activities such as coughing, laughing, lifting weights, or a sudden urge to pass urine that cannot be controlled in time.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse: A condition where pelvic organs such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum move downward due to weakened pelvic muscles and ligaments.
Overactive Bladder: Frequent urination, urgency, and sometimes nighttime urination, even when there is no infection present.
Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections: Repeated infections that may be related to incomplete bladder emptying or pelvic floor weakness.
Voiding Difficulties: Problems such as slow urine flow, straining, or the feeling that the bladder does not empty completely.
Faecal Incontinence: Loss of bowel control caused by muscle damage, nerve issues, or pelvic floor dysfunction.
Pelvic Floor Pain or Pressure: Discomfort, heaviness, or pain in the pelvic region, often worsened by prolonged standing or physical activity.
Post-Childbirth Pelvic Issues: Pelvic weakness, bladder leakage, or discomfort that develops after vaginal delivery or prolonged labour.
Bladder Pain Syndrome: A long-term condition where the bladder feels uncomfortable or painful, along with frequent or urgent urination, even though no infection or clear cause is found.
Fistulas: An abnormal connection between two body parts that do not usually join. It can develop due to injury, infection, inflammation, or after surgery.
Each condition is reviewed individually, taking into account both medical findings and the patient's daily challenges.
