Urogynaecology

Urogynaecology is a subspecialty combining the fields of Urology and Gynaecology to care for a woman’s pelvic floor health. The pelvic floor comprises muscles and connective tissues responsible for supporting the bowel (large intestines), bladder, and internal reproductive organs in their respective places. These muscles also help in bodily processes such as urinating, defecating, and sex.

The pelvic floor muscles can be adversely affected by pregnancy, ageing, menopause, and childbirth. If left untreated, weak pelvic floor muscles can lead to various urogynaecological conditions that may affect a woman’s quality of life.
