Getting to the clinic
Dr Fiona Wu is Medical Director of Aare Urocare, with rooms at Gleneagles Medical Centre on Napier Road. The nearest station is Napier MRT (TE12) on the Thomson-East Coast Line, with Orchard Boulevard MRT and the Orchard area also within reach. As the Napier Road area runs along arterial roads and is somewhat spread out, many patients find a taxi or ride-hailing trip the easiest way to arrive, and it is recommended if you do not know the area.
- By MRT: Napier (TE12), then a short walk or onward ride; Orchard Boulevard and Orchard are alternatives.
- By bus: routes along Napier Road and Orchard Boulevard serve the area; check your app for the nearest stop.
- By car or taxi: taxi and ride-hailing drop-off is available at the medical centre, which has a paid visitor carpark.
What female and reconstructive urology covers
Dr Wu’s clinical interests are female urology, neuro-urology, urinary incontinence, reconstructive urology and voiding dysfunction, covering bladder health and pelvic floor disorders for both women and men. Female urology focuses on conditions more common in women, including stress incontinence, urge incontinence, overactive bladder and pelvic floor problems. Neuro-urology addresses bladder problems that arise from nerve or spinal conditions, where the normal control of storing and passing urine is disturbed. Voiding dysfunction describes difficulty emptying the bladder properly, which can lead to incomplete emptying, recurrent infections or retention. Reconstructive urology repairs or rebuilds parts of the urinary tract affected by injury, previous surgery or congenital differences. Across these areas, careful assessment of how the bladder actually functions guides the choice of treatment. Her fellowship training in female and reconstructive urology in Switzerland, together with earlier consultant experience in several public hospital urology departments, underpins this functional emphasis. Many people put up with troublesome bladder symptoms for years, assuming nothing can be done, when in fact a range of effective options exists once the underlying pattern is understood. Because the bladder can misbehave in several different ways, with some people leaking, others struggling to empty, and some experiencing both, the diagnosis genuinely shapes the treatment, and the same symptom can call for quite different management depending on its cause. Care is usually stepped, starting with conservative measures and reserving procedures or surgery for when they are truly needed.
What to expect at a consultation
A first visit begins with a detailed history of your urinary symptoms, how they affect daily life, your fluid intake, and your medical, surgical and, where relevant, obstetric background. A focused physical examination is usually performed. Investigations are common in this field and may include a urine test, a bladder scan to measure how completely you empty, a frequency-volume chart kept at home, and urodynamic studies that measure bladder pressure and flow to pinpoint the cause of symptoms. Imaging may be arranged where appropriate. The urologist will explain the likely diagnosis and discuss options, which can range from lifestyle and pelvic floor measures through medication to procedures or surgery, chosen to fit your symptoms and preferences.
Preparing for your appointment
- Photo identification and any GP or polyclinic referral letter.
- Previous records, operation notes and any prior scans or test results.
- A list of all current medications and supplements, with doses.
- A bladder diary if you can keep one, noting fluids in, how often you pass urine and any leaks over a few days.
- A written note of your symptoms, when they began and how they affect daily life.
- Your questions, written down.
After your consultation and follow-up
After the visit you will usually have a plan and, where tests were arranged, a follow-up to discuss the results. Many bladder conditions are managed first with conservative measures such as fluid adjustment, pelvic floor exercises and medication, with review to check progress. If a procedure or surgery is recommended, the urologist will explain what it involves, the likely recovery and the alternatives. Continuity of care helps, as bladder symptoms often need adjustment over time. A second opinion can be sought at any time. Seek urgent help if you cannot pass urine at all, have a high fever with loin pain, or see significant blood in the urine with clots.
Booking, referrals and fees
As a private specialist, Dr Wu does not generally require a referral, though a GP or polyclinic letter can help with continuity and may be needed for subsidies at public clinics. Consultations are usually paid out of pocket. MediSave, MediShield Life and Integrated Shield Plans may apply to eligible procedures within set limits, while routine consultations are typically not covered. Confirm current fees and what is claimable with the clinic before your appointment.
Common questions
What is the difference between stress and urge incontinence?
Stress incontinence is leakage with effort such as coughing or exercise, while urge incontinence is a sudden strong need to pass urine; assessment helps tell them apart, as treatment differs.
What is neuro-urology?
It addresses bladder problems caused by nerve or spinal conditions, where the normal control of storing and emptying urine is affected.
Do men also see female urology specialists?
Yes. Although female urology is a particular focus, the same functional and reconstructive expertise applies to bladder problems in men.
Will I need surgery?
Not necessarily. Many conditions improve with pelvic floor exercises, lifestyle measures and medication; surgery is considered when these are not enough.
