Bladder Problems & Incontinence

Urology

What are Bladder Problems and Incontinence?

Bladder Problems and Urinary Incontinence cover a range of functional disorders, including overactive bladder (OAB), urgency, frequency, and involuntary urine leakage (incontinence). These conditions are common but require specialiszed diagnosis to distinguish between pelvic floor issues, nerve problems, or structural defects, leading to a highly focused treatment plan.

Treatment Details

Management strategies range from non-invasive therapies to highly specialised surgical reconstruction.

Treatment Focus
Key Therapies & Procedures
Diagnostics

Cystoscopy and Urodynamics (tests to assess bladder pressure and function).

Behavioural/Medical

Fluid management, pelvic floor physiotherapy, and tailored pharmaceutical regimens.

Neuromodulation

Sacral Neuromodulation (SNS) or PTNS (Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation).

Surgical

Sling procedures or Artificial Urinary Sphincter (AUS) insertion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is incontinence only treated with surgery?

No. Most bladder issues are initially managed with behavioral modification, physiotherapy, or medication. Surgery is reserved for cases of severe stress incontinence or when non-surgical treatments fail.

What is Urodynamics?

Urodynamics is a diagnostic test that measures how the bladder stores and empties urine. It is crucial for differentiating between OAB and other causes of frequency/urgency.
