Female Urology — Comprehensive Care at Kamala Kidney Hospital, Karmanghat
Female urology specialises in urinary tract disorders that are more common or present differently in women. At Kamala Kidney Hospital our team evaluates and manages conditions like urinary incontinence, recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), pelvic organ prolapse with urinary symptoms, interstitial cystitis (painful bladder), and complex urinary stone disease in women.
Common Female Urology Conditions
- Urinary Incontinence — stress, urge, or mixed types; affects daily life and can often be treated with pelvic floor therapy, medications, or procedures.
- Recurrent UTIs — repeated infections requiring evaluation for causes and prevention strategies.
- Pelvic Organ Prolapse — descent of pelvic organs causing urinary symptoms; managed conservatively or surgically depending on severity.
- Interstitial Cystitis / Painful Bladder Syndrome — chronic bladder pain with urinary frequency and urgency.
- Female Stone Disease — kidney/ureteric stones causing pain, infection risk, or obstruction.
How We Diagnose
Diagnosis begins with a detailed history and focused examination. Typical tests include urine routine and culture, ultrasound of kidney and bladder, uroflowmetry (to measure urine flow), post-void residual urine measurement, and when needed, urodynamic testing and cystoscopy.
Treatment Options
- Conservative care: pelvic floor physiotherapy, bladder training, lifestyle changes.
- Medications: antimuscarinics, beta-3 agonists, antibiotics for infections.
- Minimally invasive procedures: botulinum toxin injections into the bladder, sling procedures for stress urinary incontinence, endoscopic stone removal.
- Surgery: bladder repair, prolapse repair, advanced reconstructions when necessary.
When to Seek Help
See a specialist if you have recurring UTIs, leaking urine affecting daily life, pelvic pressure or bulge, chronic pelvic pain, or sudden changes in urination.
