Women’s Urology Care

Women’s Urology Care

Women are as much prone to urology problems as men. It is often a myth followed that Urology problems are commonly seen in men alone but women experience massive issues such as UTI and involuntary urinal disposal which can be persitent for a long time in their lives. Women may experience urological health issues that are unique to their anatomy. While the reasons for the urological problems can range from problems after childbirth, menopause  or hysterectomy, etc. Sometimes age is a major factor which affects women with urology problems.

Many of these conditions are as follows:

• Urinary Tract Infections/Bladder Infections – Most common urology problem seen in women is UTI ( Urinary Tract Infections). This occurs due to viral or bacterial infections in the urinal tract. The most common reason for this is unhygenic sanitary conditions. This is seen very common in women with age groups of above 40 years. The treatment seen commonly is the use of antibiotics.

 

•  Overactive Bladder (OAB) – Second common problem seen in women is the over urgence to urinate due to the overactive bladder. This is an anatomical problem and is seen in women of older age in India more freqently as oppose to younger women.  Treatments range from medication or nerve stimulation to Botox injections or surgery. 

• Urinary Leakage/Incontinence - Millions of women experience involuntary loss of urine, called urinary incontinence. The condition affects all ages and women of every social and economic level, though urinary incontinence occurs more often in older women than in young women. The condition can be driven by stress or by a weakness in bladder or pelvic floor muscles and can be treated with a variety of approaches, depending on severity.

· Pelvic Floor Weakness/Vaginal Prolapse/"Dropped Bladder" – Pelvic floor weakness occurs due to the sagging of the vaginal skin. This is a common repurcussion of the childbirth. This is seen in women who undergo normal deliveries, soon because of lack of exercise, they start experiencing the problem of pelvic floor weakness.

 · Pelvic Pain/Interstitial Cystitis - Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a long-term inflammation of the bladder wall, also called painful bladder syndrome. Its symptoms are very similar to a urinary tract infection, such as urinary urgency and/or pelvic pain, but lack an identifiable cause such as bacterial infection.
