Urogynaecology focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the lower urinary and genital system in women. These conditions often arise from disorders of the pelvic floor, a complex network of muscles and ligaments that support the pelvic organs and contribute to urinary and fecal continence.

Common conditions treated in urogynaecology include:

• • ◉ Pelvic organ prolapse: This occurs when the uterus, bladder, or rectum protrude into the vaginal canal.
  • ◉ Urinary and fecal incontinence: The involuntary leakage of urine or faeces.
  • ◉ Chronic urinary tract infections: Frequent and recurring infections of the urinary system.
  • ◉ Urination difficulties: Discomfort while urinating.
  • ◉ Genitourinary syndrome of menopause: Symptoms such as vaginal dryness, pain during intercourse and urinary problems resulting from hormonal changes during menopause.

These conditions can significantly impact a woman’s personal, social and sexual life, imposing limitations on her daily activities.
