Female urology / urogynaecology

The role of prevention in female urology / urogynaecology is very important, and includes, for example, targeted action to prevent cystitis or pelvic floor exercises to prevent and treat incontinence and organ prolapse.

Modern investigative procedures in female urology / urogynaecology, such as urodynamic examination and pelvic ultrasound, allow a precise diagnosis to be established and an appropriate, individual treatment procedure to be selected.  

A number of modern surgical procedures are available once the options of non-surgical treatment of incontinence or prolapse conditions of the pelvic organs have been exhausted:

• Tension-free tapes or injecting underneath the urethra in cases of stress incontinence
• Antispasmodic medication injection treatment for urge incontinence
• Tightening and fixing procedures in cases of pelvic organ prolapse, using endogenous tissue or mesh
• Sacral neuromodulation in cases of urge incontinence or bladder voiding problems
