What a urogynaecologist covers
Urogynaecology (also called female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery) is the area of women’s health that deals with the pelvic floor — the muscles and tissues that support the bladder, womb and bowel. A urogynaecologist diagnoses and treats pelvic organ prolapse (when the womb, bladder or bowel drops), urinary incontinence and an overactive bladder, recurrent urinary infections, and other bladder and pelvic-floor problems. Treatment ranges from pelvic-floor physiotherapy, lifestyle measures and pessaries to bladder medications and, where needed, reconstructive surgery.
What to expect at a consultation
A first visit usually starts with your history and symptoms, followed by an examination and, where relevant, investigations such as an ultrasound scan, blood tests or a bladder assessment. The urogynaecologist will explain what they find, set out the options with their benefits, risks and typical costs, and answer your questions so you can decide without pressure.
Preparing for your appointment
Bring a list of your medicines and medical conditions, any recent scans, biopsy or screening results and referral letters, and note down your main concerns and questions. It is reasonable to ask about waiting times, whether treatment can be done minimally invasively, and what MediSave, MediShield Life or insurance may cover.
After your consultation and follow-up
You may leave with a management plan, a date for further tests or surgery, or a referral into a multidisciplinary team. More complex care is staged over several visits with reviews to check progress. Your GP is usually kept informed so your ongoing care stays joined up.
Booking, referrals and fees
Some patients book privately; many are referred by a GP or another specialist, particularly for cancer care or surgery in the public system. Fees vary with the condition and treatment and are not quotes — confirm current charges with the clinic, and check what MediSave, MediShield Life or your insurance covers.
Common questions
What does a urogynaecologist treat?
A urogynaecologist treats pelvic-floor conditions in women — including pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence and overactive bladder, recurrent urinary tract infections and bladder-emptying problems — using both non-surgical measures and reconstructive surgery.
When should I see a urogynaecologist?
Consider a review for leaking urine (with coughing, exercise or urgency), a sensation of a bulge or heaviness in the vagina, difficulty emptying the bladder, or repeated urinary infections — especially if symptoms affect daily life. A GP or gynaecologist can refer you.
Is surgery always needed for prolapse or incontinence?
No. Many women improve with pelvic-floor physiotherapy, lifestyle changes, a vaginal pessary or medication. Surgery is considered when these do not help enough or the problem is more advanced — the urogynaecologist will discuss the options with you.
What is the difference between a urogynaecologist and a urologist?
A urogynaecologist is an O&G specialist focused on the female pelvic floor, bladder and prolapse; a urologist treats the urinary tract in both men and women, including kidney and prostate conditions. They sometimes work together on complex bladder problems.
