Summary:
You will have been referred by either your GP, a physiotherapist or a continence advisor. You will be asked to bring a completed bladder diary with you [information on how much you have had to drink, when you passed water and any leakage] and a urine sample. You may also have been asked to complete a short questionnaire about urinary leakage.When you arrive, your height and weight will be recorded and your urine tested. You may also be asked to complete a questionnaire about your symptoms on a computer. A friendly member of staff will be able to guide you.
In the clinic a full history will be taken, which includes questions about incontinence from both bladder and bowel and prolapse symptoms. It includes questions about the effect of this on general life and sexual function. An internal or vaginal examination will be done, and this will often include a speculum examination for which you lie on your side. A chaperone will be present for this.At the end of the consultation, you will be given information about your condition and possible treatments will be offered to you. This may involve tablets, surgery or supportive pessaries for prolapse. An information leaflet will be available to cover your options. It may be suggested that you have further tests, such as urodynamics, which will be explained fully to you.
Conditions Treated:
This is a clinic specifically for women who have noticed symptoms of urinary leakage, or a sensation of a bulge in the vagina [prolapse]. Other conditions related to the bladder or prolapse are also referred here, such as bladder pain and recurrent infection.
