Treatments
Treatments for female urology conditions such as urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and interstitial cystitis typically involve a range of innovative and evidence-based approaches tailored to each patient’s unique needs.
Treatment plans often include a combination of lifestyle changes, medications, and advanced interventions. For urinary incontinence, treatment may start with pelvic floor exercises to strengthen muscles and improve bladder control. Medications or Botox injections may be recommended to paralyze bladder muscles and alleviate symptoms if needed temporarily.
Pelvic organ prolapse, a condition that affects about one in three women, may require surgical solutions. Sling surgery or reconstructive procedures can repair supportive muscles and restore normal organ positioning. These procedures are relatively standard, with about 15% of women requiring surgical intervention for this condition.

Procedures

Addressing conditions like urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, or overactive bladder requires an active role. Options may include:
- Sling surgery to support the urethra and prevent involuntary leakage during physical activities
- Minimally invasive surgical options, like robotic-assisted surgeries, to enhance recovery times and reduce postoperative pain
- Intravesical Botox injections to temporarily paralyze the bladder muscles and provide relief from overactive bladder symptoms
These procedures target the condition’s root causes, ensuring a more effective and sustainable solution.
For instance, restoring the pelvic floor’s natural anatomy may be recommended if pelvic organ prolapse is the issue.
Choosing the correct procedure is a significant step towards regaining control and improving quality of life.
