Pelvic Floor Surgery: Urogynaecology (Part Two)

Picking up where we left off last time: surgical options for pelvic floor dysfunction. What treatments or procedures are available, what do they involve, and to what extent do they work? Urogynaecology is a sub-speciality of gynaecology that focuses on helping women with problems relating to the pelvic floor and bladder. It's where you might end up if you get a referral to see a specialist. In the second half of this two-part episode, Helen speaks to Dr Charlotte Mahoney, a consultant urogynaecologist at St Mary's hospital in Manchester, about treatments for overactive bladder (which includes urge incontinence), surgeries for pelvic organ prolapse and how to get the most from your long awaited appointment.For more NHS information about surgery and procedures for urinary incontinence, click hereFor more information on PTNS listen to the WMDJ episode 'Sara's Story'Colorectal services, listen to the WMDJ episode, 'Pelvic Floor Surgery: Colorectal'The book, Why Mums Don't Jump: Ending the Pelvic Floor Taboo, is available now!
