Over 50% women will develop some pelvic organ prolapse and if they have symptoms treatment is available in the form of pelvic floor physiotherapy, vaginal pessaries or surgery.
Urogynaecologists see women with a range of urinary symptoms including infection and incontinence. Urinary incontinence may be treated with medication, physiotherapy or surgery according to the underlying cause and severity.
