Urogynaecology

What is Urogynaecology?

At Coastal Women’s Health, we understand that pelvic floor and bladder issues can affect not only your physical health but also your confidence, comfort, and quality of life. Our urogynaecology services are dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and supporting women with conditions that are more common than many realise – yet often go untreated due to stigma or embarrassment. Dr. Farag and our team are committed to delivering the best possible care to ensure your long-term health.

Which conditions do we treat?

The highly regarded team at Coastal Women’s Health provides comprehensive care for a wide variety of issues that affect your pelvic organs and connective tissues. Some of the most common conditions we treat include:

Uterine and vaginal prolapse
Urinary incontinence
Pelvic floor disorders
Urinary tract or bladder infections
Interstitial cystitis

Your dedicated team at Coastal Women’s Health will discuss with you in detail about what you’re experiencing. They may perform a pelvic exam, run some labs, or even order an in-office ultrasound to diagnose you. Once your urogynaecology expert better understands what’s triggering your symptoms, they can then talk with you about all of your treatment options.

Treatments That We Offer

We take a personalised approach to each woman’s care, offering both non-surgical and surgical treatment options, such as:

• Vaginal reconstruction – this is a procedure to repair your vagina to solve incontinence or sexual intercourse issues using surgery – the overall treatment depends on your individual diagnosis.
• Chronic pelvic pain management – based on your individual diagnosis, we will create a customised treatment plan, which may include medication, physical therapy, minimally invasive procedures, lifestyle and dietary recommendations, and psychological support and counselling.
• Incontinence treatment and management – treatment may include the use of a pessary, medication, behavioural treatment and education, physical therapy, and surgery.
• Pelvic organ prolapse treatment – depending on your individual needs, we may use physical therapy (Kegel exercises, wave chair, Esmella, and PRP) or surgery
• Percutaneous Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS) – this treatment uses a slim needle to stimulate a nerve in your ankle which sends signals to the spine to prevent bladder spasms.
• PRP – using your own platelet-rich plasma from your blood, PRP therapy uses your body’s own healing properties to strengthen and rejuvenate the tissues that support bladder function.
• Wave chair – The Wave Brilliance Pelvic Floor Therapy System is a non-surgical therapy for incontinence. It uses high-frequency magnetic pulses to activate your motor nerve fibers, resulting in involuntary yet high-intensity contractions of your pelvic floor muscles that help build your strength back to improve bladder control, all while sitting in a comfortable chair.

When should I see a Gynaecologist?

Anytime you experience discomfort in your pelvic region that gets worse or doesn’t go away, it’s important to schedule a urogynaecology exam at Coastal Women’s Health. Pelvic pain and related symptoms are never something you should ignore since the underlying condition may only get worse, especially if it’s an infection.

You should book an evaluation at Coastal Women’s Health if you notice:

• Burning while urinating
• Lower back pain
• Twisting or stabbing pains
• Blood in your urine
• Bladder leakage
• Problems emptying your bladder or bowels
