Urological Diseases in Women – Accurate Diagnosis and Comprehensive Treatment

Many women suffer from urinary tract issues that can affect their daily quality of life, including recurrent urinary tract infections, urinary incontinence, and bladder disorders. At D. Mena Urology Care Clinic, we provide precise diagnosis using the latest medical technologies and offer comprehensive treatment plans tailored to each case, ensuring comfort and the restoration of normal urinary function.

Conditions We Treat and Our Approach

1. Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

🔹 Overview: Many women experience recurrent UTIs caused by bacterial infections, leading to symptoms such as a burning sensation during urination, frequent urination, and pelvic discomfort.
🔹 Diagnosis:
✔ Urine analysis and culture to identify the type of bacteria causing the infection.
✔ Ultrasound imaging to detect any structural abnormalities in the bladder or kidneys.
🔹 Treatment:
✔ Targeted antibiotic therapy based on culture results.
✔ Lifestyle modifications, such as increased water intake and regular urination habits.
✔ Preventive treatments to reduce the risk of recurrent infections.

2. Urinary Incontinence (Stress Incontinence – Urge Incontinence – Mixed Incontinence)

🔹 Overview: Some women experience involuntary urine leakage when coughing, laughing, or exercising (stress incontinence) or a sudden, uncontrollable urge to urinate (urge incontinence).
🔹 Diagnosis:
✔ Urodynamic testing to evaluate bladder function and urinary control.
✔ Urine analysis to rule out infections or other underlying conditions.
🔹 Treatment:
✔ Pelvic floor therapy (Kegel exercises) to strengthen bladder control.
✔ Medication to regulate bladder activity and reduce abnormal contractions.
✔ Minimally invasive surgical procedures, such as tension-free vaginal tape (TVT) for advanced stress incontinence.

3. Interstitial Cystitis (Painful Bladder Syndrome)

🔹 Overview: A chronic inflammation of the bladder wall, causing pelvic pain and frequent urination without an identifiable bacterial infection.
🔹 Diagnosis:
✔ Urinalysis and culture to rule out bacterial infections.
✔ Cystoscopy (bladder endoscopy) to detect signs of irritation or ulcers.
🔹 Treatment:
✔ Medications to soothe bladder inflammation.
✔ Dietary adjustments, such as avoiding irritants like caffeine and spicy foods.
✔ Physical therapy to relieve muscle tension and improve pelvic function.

4. Overactive Bladder (OAB) and Urinary Disorders

🔹 Overview: Characterized by sudden, frequent urges to urinate, often with difficulty controlling the bladder.
🔹 Diagnosis:
✔ Urodynamic testing to assess bladder sensitivity.
✔ Ultrasound imaging to identify any anatomical abnormalities.
🔹 Treatment:
✔ Medications to relax the bladder and reduce involuntary contractions.
✔ Nerve stimulation therapy to improve bladder control.
✔ Botox injections into the bladder for severe, drug-resistant cases.

5. Neurogenic Bladder (Bladder Dysfunction Due to Nerve Disorders)

🔹 Overview: This occurs when bladder function is impaired due to neurological conditions such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, or spinal cord injuries.
🔹 Diagnosis:
✔ Urodynamic studies to evaluate bladder function.
✔ MRI scans to detect potential neurological disorders.
🔹 Treatment:
✔ Bladder training techniques to improve urinary control.
✔ Medications to regulate bladder activity.
✔ Intermittent catheterization when necessary to ensure complete bladder emptying.

6. Kidney Infections and Pyelonephritis

🔹 Overview: Kidney infections result from the spread of bacterial infections from the lower urinary tract, leading to fever, flank pain, and nausea.
🔹 Diagnosis:
✔ Urine analysis and kidney function tests to assess infection severity.
✔ Ultrasound or CT scans to detect obstructions or structural abnormalities.
🔹 Treatment:
✔ High-dose antibiotics to eliminate infection and prevent complications.
✔ Fluid and electrolyte management to support kidney function.
✔ Regular follow-ups to prevent recurrence and monitor kidney health.
