Understanding this area of care

A clear overview to help you know what to expect before your consultation.

Urogynecology addresses urinary and pelvic floor disorders in women. Stress incontinence — leaking with cough, laugh, or exercise — differs from urge incontinence, where a sudden strong need to urinate leads to leakage. Many women have mixed symptoms. Causes include childbirth, menopause, obesity, and pelvic floor weakening. Treatment ranges from physiotherapy to procedural options.

Symptoms & concerns

Common patterns women describe — though every experience is individual.

  • Leakage when coughing, sneezing, or exercising (stress incontinence)
  • Sudden urgent need to urinate with leakage (urge incontinence)
  • Frequent urination day or night
  • Difficulty reaching the toilet in time
  • Pelvic heaviness or prolapse sensation

Possible causes & context

Helpful background — a consultation helps clarify what applies to you.

  • Pelvic floor weakness after vaginal delivery
  • Menopausal tissue changes affecting bladder support
  • Overactive bladder causing urge symptoms
  • Pelvic organ prolapse affecting continence
  • UTIs or neurological conditions (less common)

When should you seek care?

If any of the following apply, it is worth arranging a consultation.

  • Leakage affects daily activities, exercise, or confidence
  • You limit social outings due to bladder concerns
  • Symptoms began or worsened after childbirth or menopause
  • You feel pelvic heaviness or a bulge
  • Conservative measures have not improved symptoms

What a consultation may involve

Every visit is tailored — this is a general guide to what may be discussed.

  1. Bladder diary and symptom characterisation

  2. Obstetric and menopausal history review

  3. Examination including pelvic floor assessment

  4. Urinalysis to exclude infection

  5. Discussion of physiotherapy, medication, and procedural options

Treatment & management overview

Options depend on your history, examination findings, and preferences.

Pelvic floor exercises and physiotherapy are first-line for many women. Bladder training helps urge symptoms. Vaginal oestrogen may benefit postmenopausal patients. Procedural options such as mid-urethral slings or pessaries are discussed when conservative care is insufficient. The approach depends on incontinence type and severity.

Frequently asked questions

Clear answers to common questions — for personal advice, please book a consultation.

What is the difference between stress and urge incontinence?

Stress incontinence is leakage with physical pressure on the bladder — coughing, laughing, or running. Urge incontinence involves a sudden strong urge followed by leakage, often with frequent urination. Many women have both.

Do pelvic floor exercises really help?

Yes, for many women with stress incontinence. Correct technique matters — physiotherapy-guided training is often more effective than unsupervised exercises alone.

Is surgery necessary for urinary incontinence?

Not usually as a first step. Conservative measures including physiotherapy, bladder training, and lifestyle changes help many women. Surgery is considered when symptoms persist despite appropriate non-surgical care.

Consultation is available from nearby neighbourhoods across North Bangalore — without separate clinic addresses in every area.
