Urogynecology Services: Diagnosis and Evaluation
Specialized Care for Pelvic Health
Pelvic floor disorders, such as urinary incontinence and prolapse, are common but often left untreated due to embarrassment. Our dedicated Urogynecology Service provides a private, compassionate, and specialized environment for the diagnosis of these complex conditions.
A correct diagnosis is the crucial first step toward restoring your quality of life. Led by Dr. Milind Colvalcar, our team uses state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to pinpoint the exact cause of your symptoms, leading directly to a personalized Treatment Plan.
Core Conditions Requiring Urogynecology Evaluation
Our specialized focus is on accurately identifying the type and severity of conditions impacting the pelvic floor, bladder, and bowel function.
Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) Evaluation
SUI is the involuntary leakage of urine during activities that increase abdominal pressure, such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising.
Initial Assessment: Detailed history gathering focusing on symptom triggers, frequency, and impact on daily life.
Physical Examination: Assessment of the vagina, uterus, and pelvic support structures, often involving a cough test to demonstrate leakage.
Urinalysis and Bladder Diary: Screening for urinary tract infection (UTI) and mapping fluid intake and voiding patterns.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) Evaluation
POP occurs when pelvic organs (such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum) descend into the vagina due to weakened pelvic floor muscles and ligaments, often post-Labor and Delivery.
Clinical Grading: Assessing the severity (or grade) and type of prolapse (e.g., cystocele, rectocele, uterine prolapse) through specialized pelvic examination.
Symptom Correlation: Determining how the anatomical prolapse is affecting your symptoms (e.g., a feeling of heaviness, difficult bowel movements, or painful intercourse).
Specialized Urodynamic Testing
Urodynamic testing is a highly specialized diagnostic procedure used to assess how well the bladder and urethra are storing and releasing urine. It provides objective data essential for precise treatment planning.
Purpose: To measure bladder pressures, flow rates, and volume capacity, accurately differentiating between various types of incontinence (Stress vs. Urge).
How it Works: The test involves filling the bladder with water via a small catheter while measuring pressures with sensitive instruments.
Why it Matters: The results of this testing dictate whether the appropriate Treatment Options should be physiotherapy, medication, or surgical intervention (like a sling procedure).
Diagnosis to Definitive Treatment
Our diagnostic service is a direct pipeline to resolution.
Dr. Colvalcar’s Authority: As a senior gynaecologist who also performs reconstructive Surgical Procedures (including Minimally Invasive keyhole techniques for complex cases), he interprets the diagnostic data with the end goal of cure and restoration in mind. This ensures a highly efficient and successful transition to the next phase of care.
Take the first step toward reclaiming your pelvic health with an accurate, confidential diagnosis.
