Urogynaecology Clinic

How We Can Help You

Urogynaecology is sometimes called “uro-gynae”, gynaecological urology, or female pelvic medicine. Specialists in this field support women's health, bladder care, and pelvic floor medicine together, dealing with conditions that can be difficult to discuss, and long-lasting in their impact on everyday life.

Our consultant will listen to you explain your symptoms fully, and you’ll receive a thorough, unhurried assessment. Depending on what you describe and what is found on examination, we may make recommendations involving investigations, conservative management options such as pelvic floor therapy, or onward referral for more complex interventions where appropriate.

Is This The Right Service For You?

You may find a urogynaecology appointment helpful if you:

• Leak urine when coughing, laughing, sneezing, or exercising
• Feel a heaviness, dragging, or "something coming down" in your pelvis
• Experience a sudden, intense urge to reach the toilet, or do not always make it in time
• Need to urinate frequently, including waking at night
• Have difficulty fully emptying your bladder or bowels
• Suffer from recurrent urinary tract infections
• Have pelvic pain or discomfort during everyday activities or intercourse
• Are experiencing ongoing symptoms after childbirth or pelvic surgery
• Have notices a change in pelvic symptoms after childbirth or pelvic surgery
• Have noticed a change in pelvic symptoms around perimenopause or menopause
• Are an active woman or athlete with pelvic floor concerns
• Are looking for a private second opinion after NHS assessment

These symptoms are often dismissed or endured for months or years. They are worth investigating, and this clinic exists to take them seriously.

What To Expect At Your Appointment

Your first appointment at our Birmingham urogynaecology clinic is an initial assessment. You can expect your consultation to include a conversation about your symptoms, how long they have been present, how they are affecting your daily life and wellbeing, and any relevant medical history.

Your consultant may suggest a physical examination where clinically appropriate. She will explain what she finds, and what the options may be going forward.

Depending on your individual situation, investigations that might be considered following your assessment include urine testing, a bladder diary review, urodynamic investigations, or imaging, but these would only be recommended where relevant to your symptoms and clinical picture.

Possible management approaches that may be discussed include pelvic floor physiotherapy and rehabilitation, lifestyle and behavioural strategies, medication options, pessary fitting (including ring pessary appointments) and onward referral for surgical options where appropriate. Nothing will be assumed or decided without your involvement.

You are welcome to bring someone with you, and to ask as many questions as you need. Your consultant is here to help you understand your situation clearly. Midland Health also offers professional interpreting and translation support for appointments if you would prefer to communicate in a language other than English.
