Pelvic Floor + Bladder Issues

Urine incontinence is a common condition that affects approximately 1 in 4 women, with childbirth, age and menopause all being contributing factors.

A variety of treatment options are available, and talking with your women’s health GP is a good place to start.

Issues with bladder or bowel control can be distressing. Some women may find it too embarrassing to discuss their symptoms, while others may think it is normal for them to experience incontinence after childbirth or with aging. The truth is that there is much that can be done, with a little help from your doctor.

Prolapse, urinary and pelvic floor concerns

The sensation of uterine prolapse is often described as “a feeling something coming down” at the opening of the vagina or a heavy, aching feeling. A thorough examination and discussion with a women’s health GP who is experienced and confident in assessing these conditions is the best way to reduce the awkwardness and discomfort and to start on the path to getting these very personal problems sorted out.

We have a network of other specialist practitioners, such as women’s health physiotherapists and urogynaecologists that we can refer to when required.
