The Urogynecology department at KIMS Hospital, Thane, specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic floor disorders in women. Urogynecology is a subspecialty that addresses issues related to urinary and bowel incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and cosmetic correction of genitalia, as well as other related conditions affecting the pelvic floor.
Common Problems Treated by Urogynecologists
Our expert team of urogynecologists provides compassionate care for a variety of conditions, including:
1. Incontinence
This includes various types of urinary incontinence, each with unique symptoms:
- Stress Urinary Incontinence: Loss of urine when coughing, sneezing, laughing, or running.
- Overactive Bladder: Frequent urination, the urgent need to use the bathroom, and loss of control when the urge strikes, including waking up at night to urinate.
- Mixed Incontinence: A combination of stress and overactive bladder symptoms.
- Overflow Incontinence: A condition where the person has no sensation of their bladder filling and releases small quantities of urine at intervals.
2. Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Due to weakened pelvic floor muscles, women may experience a feeling of a bulge in the genital area as the bladder, uterus, or rectum slides down. This is often a result of pelvic floor dysfunction, where the muscle plate that supports the pelvic organs weakens.
3. Bladder Pain Syndrome (BPS)
This condition causes bladder pain with no obvious reason and may be accompanied by burning sensations in the vagina and external genitalia.
4. Congenital Anomalies
Urogynecology also addresses congenital issues such as the absence of the vagina or other birth-related anomalies affecting the genital organs.
5. Cosmetic Surgery
Our department provides cosmetic surgical treatments for women who seek reduction of the Labia Minora or need support for a sagging vagina, enhancing both aesthetic appearance and physical comfort.
6. Recurrent Urinary Infections
Treatment for frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs) can be a sign of underlying pelvic floor issues.
7. Voiding Disorders
Conditions where women experience difficulty urinating or completely emptying the bladder.
8. Fistulas and Leaks
Holes in the bladder or rectum leading into the vagina, often caused by childbirth, surgery, or congenital conditions. These conditions can lead to leakage of stool or urine through the vagina.
9. Sexual Dysfunction
Urogynecologists also treat sexual dysfunction in women, addressing difficulties during intercourse due to pelvic floor issues.
