Urogynaecology Treatment Options at HealthHub Clinics
At HealthHub Clinics in Dubai, we believe in personalized care – there’s no one-size-fits-all solution for pelvic floor problems. After a thorough evaluation, your doctor will work with you to create a treatment plan tailored to your needs. We offer a wide range of urinary incontinence treatments and pelvic floor solutions, from conservative therapies to advanced procedures. We always start with the most effective yet least invasive options and progress to more advanced treatments only if needed. Our main treatment approaches include:
- Lifestyle & Conservative Therapies: Often the first line of treatment for mild to moderate symptoms. This includes pelvic floor exercises (Kegels) to strengthen the muscles that control urination and support pelvic organs. We’ll guide you on doing these exercises correctly and may recommend pelvic floor physiotherapy if needed. Bladder training techniques can help gradually increase the time between bathroom visits for an overactive bladder. We also discuss lifestyle changes to reduce strain on your pelvic floor (for example, diet adjustments or treating a chronic cough).
- Medications & Pessary Devices: Depending on your condition, medications can play a key role in relief. For an overactive bladder or urge incontinence, we may prescribe medicines to relax the bladder muscles and improve control. If postmenopausal changes (like vaginal dryness) are contributing to symptoms, localized estrogen therapy might be recommended to strengthen tissues. We also offer pessary devices for pelvic organ prolapse (and some cases of stress incontinence) – a pessary is a small silicone device placed in the vagina to support prolapsed organs or the bladder neck. It’s a simple, non-surgical option that many women find helpful and can be fitted right in our clinic.
- Minimally Invasive Procedures & Surgery: When conservative measures aren’t enough, our specialists can provide advanced interventions. For stress urinary incontinence, a highly effective option is the mid-urethral sling– a tiny supportive sling placed under the urethra to prevent leaks during activities. This minimally invasive procedure is typically done as a day-case with quick recovery. For pelvic organ prolapse, our gynecologists perform minimally invasive vaginal repairs to restore proper support.
Your doctor will discuss all treatment options with you, answer your questions, and help you make informed decisions. Whether you improve with exercises and medications or require a procedure, we stay by your side at every step to ensure the best results.
