Urogynecologist in Dubai
Overview
It is embarrassing for women to talk about prolapse and urine incontinence issues. Evidence indicates that a woman may wait up to five years before seeking treatment for these issues. Urogynaecology is a subspecialty of gynecology and urology that deals with female bladder problems. Urogynecologists can also help women who have suffered injuries to their perineum after childbirth.
Our urogynecologist in Dubai, Dr. Mustafa Aldam, has years of expertise dealing with these delicate matters. He gives thoughtful, individualized care that is holistic in nature. His team consists of specialists with advanced training in treating pelvic floor dysfunction.
What does a Urogynecologist do?
Urogynecologists deal with urinary incontinence and problems related to bladder, and pelvis. This involves troubles with reproduction, weak pelvic muscles, hyperactive bladders, and urinary or rectal incontinence (the loss of control when going to the bathroom). Urogynecologists assess patients, make diagnoses, and administer treatments.
What is urinary continence?
Unintentional or involuntary urination is a widespread issue called urinary incontinence that affects millions of individuals worldwide.
What are the causes of urinary incontinence?
Urinary incontinence is typically brought on by injury to or deterioration of the urination-controlling muscles, such as the pelvic floor muscles or urethral sphincter. In contrast, overactive detrusor muscles in charge of bladder control frequently cause urge incontinence.
Your risk of getting urine incontinence may be increased by certain factors, such as:
- Obesity
- Diabetes
- Maternity and vaginal delivery
- A history of incontinence in the family
- Getting older, even if incontinence is not a necessary aspect of getting older.
What are the types and symptoms of urinary incontinence?
Depending on the type of incontinence, your symptoms may vary. The following types, or a combination of both, are the most prevalent:
- When you laugh, cough, or strain your bladder in any other manner, you have stress incontinence, which results in pee leaking out.
- Urine seeping out concurrently with or shortly after a sudden, strong need to urinate is known as urge incontinence.

What to expect regarding urinary incontinence treatment in Dubai?
The troubles you’re experiencing, and their root cause will determine your therapy strategy. Typical therapies include:
Medications
Some incontinence problems require medication, though not all of them do. Similarly, other pelvic floor disorders may also benefit from drug therapy.
Injections
"Bulking agents" can help with incontinence and other bladder control concerns. For this, you need not go elsewhere as our urogynecologist is qualified enough to do in-office or outpatient injection procedures under local anesthetic.
Nerve stimulation
Nerve stimulation therapies are helpful for overactive bladders, much like acupuncture.
Pelvic floor muscle training
Kegel exercises can help with problems like prolapse. Kegel exercises involve squeezing and relaxing the muscles within the pelvic floor. These exercises can lessen more severe prolapse symptoms but won't cure them.
Pelvic Pessary
If you have organ prolapse difficulties, a urogynecologist can help pessaries and medical devices into the vagina to support your organs. Pessaries are soft, removable devices that can be found in various sizes and forms. You can get one fitted at your doctor's office during a visit. They can be taken off to be cleaned.
Surgical treatments
Our urogynecologist, in some cases, might also advise surgery. These consist of: Fixing the vaginal wall Installations of bladders Uterus removal Bladder control surgery
What other urinary conditions does our urogynecologist treat?
Depending on the type of incontinence, your symptoms may vary. The following types, or a combination of both, are the most prevalent:
- Fistulas
- Urge to urinate
- Cystitis interstitial
- Uncontrollable bladder
- Uterine, bladder, or cervix prolapse
- Urinary tract infections frequently (UTIs)
