This Clinic was established to assist women who are troubled by pelvic floor dysfunction characterized by prolapse or incontinence.
Whilst for some, the symptoms may appear in early childhood or teenage life, in most women, it tends to manifest later in life. In the vast majority of women, it is primarily caused by pregnancy and childbirth events. Over time it can be worsened by the changes of menopause.

For many, the symptoms appear for the first time around the menopause era. It can be very distressing and debilitating. In severe cases, it can have a life changing impact on their social, sexual and psychological state. It can lead to loss of dignity and self-worth resulting in social isolation for some.

Here at the Clinic, the philosophy is to try and identify those women at risk and offer them an opportunity to improve their pelvic floor to minimize these problems developing later in life. We offer:

• Pre and post pregnancy pelvic floor assessment
• Assessment and treatment for prolapse
• Management of bladder and bowel incontinence

Where appropriate, we conduct investigations prior to treatment including:

• Ultrasound to assess the support of the bladder, degree of prolapse
• Urodynamic studies to assess the function of the bladder.

Treatment options are then based on the results of the investigations. Depending on the problem, there are many options of treatment ranging from:

• Lifestyle advice
• Pelvic floor Physiotherapy
• Magnetic therapy
• Vaginal pessaries
• Bladder training
• Drug therapy
• Pelvic reconstructive surgery
• Nerve stimulation

We work closely with other practitioners including Pelvic Floor Physiotherapists, Continence Nurses and other medical specialists, like Colorectal Surgeons for bowel incontinence, to provide individualized care to achieve the maximal outcome possible.
