What is Urogynaecology?

Urogynaecology is a subspecialty of gynaecology that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of urinary incontinence and female pelvic floor disorders.

The main pelvic health conditions you would seek urogynaecology services include:

  • Urinary incontinence – urine leakage when you cough, laugh or sneeze.
  • Overactive bladder – urine leakage as well as frequent, intense urges to urinate.
  • Bowel control disorders – includes constipation, bowel leakage or faecal incontinence.
  • Pelvic organ prolapse – is when pelvic organs (bladder, vagina, and uterus) drop due to a loss of support.
