Stress urinary incontinence

Involuntary leakage of urine during activities such as coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercise, often linked to weakened pelvic floor support.

Who it may suit: Women experiencing leakage with physical activity, after childbirth or with age.
Approach: May include pelvic floor rehabilitation, lifestyle guidance or surgical support depending on severity.
Recovery outline: Non-surgical options typically involve no downtime; surgical options are discussed individually.

Urge urinary incontinence

A sudden, strong need to pass urine that is difficult to defer, sometimes with leakage before reaching the toilet.

Who it may suit: Women with sudden urgency, frequent trips to the toilet or waking at night.
Approach: Combines bladder-training strategies, lifestyle adjustments and, where appropriate, medical treatment.
Recovery outline: Improvements are typically gradual and reviewed over follow-up appointments.

Pelvic organ prolapse

A feeling of heaviness or a bulge in the vagina when pelvic organs shift from their usual position, often after childbirth or with menopause.

Who it may suit: Women with pelvic heaviness, pressure or a visible bulge that affects comfort and confidence.
Approach: Options range from conservative measures to reconstructive surgery, chosen based on your goals.
Recovery outline: Surgical recovery is planned individually with clear guidance and follow-up care.
