At the first appointment, an urogynaecologist, i.e. a gynaecologist specialised in problems of the female urinary tract and pelvic floor, will investigate the causes of urinary incontinence.
Almost all women experience urinary incontinence at some point in their lives, and you do not have to suffer from it alone. If you have recurring symptoms related to urinary incontinence, it is advisable to consult a specialist at an early stage.
After the discussion, a gynaecological examination is carried out. At the same time, an assessment of pelvic floor muscle function is performed and the degree of any prolapse is determined. We also rule out other gynaecological causes of urinary incontinence.
The examinations also include a cough test. In the test, you will need to cough when your urinary bladder is full. After urinating, we measure with ultrasound whether residual urine remains in the bladder.
If necessary, we also perform a more extensive gynaecological ultrasound scan. This examination can reveal, for example, myomas or cysts pressing on the bladder and causing urinary incontinence. The price of a possible ultrasound scan in connection with the first appointment is 120 €.
If necessary, we will also take a urine sample. In this way, we rule out a urinary tract infection if we suspect an infection or if you have pain.
Based on the discussion and symptom mapping, an individual care plan will be drawn up for you. Treatment options include conservative treatment or surgical treatment.
Conservative treatment may include pelvic floor physiotherapy, or the treatment may also involve the use of a urethral ring, which relieves the symptoms of urinary incontinence. A urethral ring is an aid that is inserted into the vagina to prevent urinary incontinence. If necessary, the physician will refer you to a pelvic floor physiotherapist's practice.
Surgical treatment is chosen if there are clear medical grounds for it.
Your treatment path continues seamlessly with the support of the same care team. The physiotherapist monitors the effectiveness of the treatment and can refer you back to the physician if conservative treatment is not sufficient.
You can always contact your care team if your symptoms do not ease or if they worsen. In this way, we ensure that you will continue to receive the help you need and that the treatment works in the best possible way.
Before the first appointment, keep a bladder diary for three days. Record fluids consumed and urine amounts with timestamps in the diary. Arrive at the appointment with a full urinary bladder. This will give the physician a comprehensive picture of your situation and enable an accurate diagnosis.
Also write down or recall at least the following matters, if they apply to you:
Symptoms and in which situations the symptoms occur.
Information on pregnancies and childbirths.
Gynaecological diseases and operations.
Current medication and hormonal treatments, such as contraceptive pills.
Drug allergies.
