Urogynaecology care at Mediclinic Middle East
Bladder leakage, pelvic heaviness, and bowel discomfort are among the most common symptoms women experience, yet many go untreated. These are not symptoms you simply have to manage. With the right care, most urogynaecological conditions can be significantly improved.
What is urogynaecology?
Urogynaecology is a subspecialty focused on conditions affecting the female pelvic floor: the network of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support the bladder, uterus, vagina, and bowel. These conditions can develop after childbirth, with age, during menopause, or as a result of other medical factors.
Symptoms that may need attention
You may benefit from an assessment if you experience any of these symptoms. If they are affecting your daily life, confidence, or wellbeing, we encourage you to speak with a doctor. These are medical conditions, and help is available.
