Treatment & Diagnosis
Treatment Options for Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the normal support of the vagina is lost, causing a sensation of pressure or bulging in the vaginal area. At Katy Women’s Pelvic Health, we offer comprehensive and personalized treatment options to address this condition, backed by over 21 years of experience in the medical field:
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Our conservative and personalized program focuses on strengthening pelvic floor muscles using advanced techniques such as biofeedback, electromyography, and electrical stimulation. This therapy helps restore muscle function and alleviate symptoms.
Pessary
A pessary is a silicone device fitted to each patient’s needs, placed inside the vagina to elevate pelvic organs and reduce bulge symptoms. This non-surgical option provides immediate relief and can be easily managed.
Surgery
We provide various minimally invasive surgical options tailored to each patient’s symptoms, anatomy, and preferences. Our procedures include:
- Vaginal Reconstruction: Reconstructive surgery to restore normal anatomy.
- Laparoscopic Surgery: Minimally invasive approach using small incisions and a camera.
- Robotic Surgery: Advanced technique offering precision and shorter recovery times.
Treatment Options for Urgency Urinary Incontinence
Urgency urinary incontinence is characterized by the sudden, strong urge to urinate, often resulting in leakage. Our treatments are designed to provide relief and improve quality of life:
Lifestyle Modifications
We guide patients on bladder retraining, urge suppression techniques, fluid management, and avoiding bladder irritants.
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
This program uses biofeedback, electromyography, and electrical stimulation to strengthen pelvic muscles and control bladder function.
Medications
Several medication options are available to help the bladder relax, reduce spasms, and decrease urgency and urge incontinence episodes.
Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation
This office-based procedure involves temporarily placing an electrode in the lower leg to stimulate the tibial nerve, reducing urgency symptoms.
Botox™
An office-based procedure where Botulinum toxin is injected into the bladder muscle, helping it to relax and reducing episodes of urgency, frequency, and urinary incontinence.
Sacral Nerve Stimulation
Sacral Neuromodulation Therapy (SNM), an NHS-funded treatment, can restore normal bladder or bowel function by addressing communication issues between these organs and the brain. Used by 200,000 people worldwide, a diagnostic trial determines its effectiveness for each patient.
Treatment Options for Stress Urinary Incontinence
Stress urinary incontinence involves the leakage of urine during activities like coughing, laughing, sneezing, or changing positions. Our treatments include:
Lifestyle Modifications
We offer bladder retraining programs, fluid management advice, and tips on avoiding bladder irritants to help manage symptoms effectively.
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
This personalized program strengthens pelvic floor muscles through biofeedback, electromyography, and electrical stimulation, helping to prevent urine leakage.
Incontinence Pessary
A pessary is custom-fitted and placed in the vagina to support the bladder neck, preventing urine leakage.
Surgical Therapy
Our surgical options include:
- Urethral Bulking (Bulkamid®): Injections that add bulk to the urethral wall, improving closure.
- Mid-Urethral Slings: A minimally invasive procedure to support the urethra.
- Pubovaginal Slings: Traditional surgical method for severe cases.
