Female urology / urogynaecology
Focusing on the female bladder and pelvic floor
The discipline of female urology or urogynaecology deals with malfunctions of the pelvic organs, such as:
- Incontinence in women
- Prolapse conditions/prolapses of the pelvic organs in women
- Bladder prolapse
- Uterine prolapse
- Intestinal prolapse
- Investigation of the causes of frequent urinary tract infections
- Infections of the female sex organs
- Bladder and pelvic floor malfunctions with bladder and intestinal voiding disorders
- Pelvic pain in women
The role of prevention in female urology / urogynaecology is very important, and includes, for example, targeted action to prevent cystitis or pelvic floor exercises to prevent and treat incontinence and organ prolapse.
Modern investigative procedures in female urology / urogynaecology, such as urodynamic examination and pelvic ultrasound, allow a precise diagnosis to be established and an appropriate, individual treatment procedure to be selected.
A number of modern surgical procedures are available once the options of non-surgical treatment of incontinence or prolapse conditions of the pelvic organs have been exhausted:
- Tension-free tapes or injecting underneath the urethra in cases of stress incontinence
- Antispasmodic medication injection treatment for urge incontinence
- Tightening and fixing procedures in cases of pelvic organ prolapse, using endogenous tissue or mesh
- Sacral neuromodulation in cases of urge incontinence or bladder voiding problems
