Diagnosis & Treatment

Diagnosing Female Urological Concerns

At Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi’s Female Urology Program, each of our patients are assessed through a medical history discussion, physical examination and additional tests to determine the cause and type of urological issue.

To diagnose problems related to incontinence, an in-depth evaluation is often sufficient. Understanding that incontinence is a symptom and not a disease is important and identifying the underlying cause or causes is often complex and requires an evaluation before treatment begins.

Symptoms of incontinence can include:

  • A continuous dripping or small or large amounts of leakage.
  • Leaking when you jump, run, laugh, cough or sneeze.
  • An urge to go but being unable to make it to the bathroom in time.
  • Waking frequently at night to use the toilet.

Incontinence can be caused by many different short-term conditions, such as urinary tract infections, medication, pregnancy, or long-term conditions like pelvic floors disorders, diabetes or stroke. Age is the biggest risk factor for incontinence.

Treating Female Urological Concern

Talking to your doctor is the first step in treating urinary incontinence and taking control of your bladder.

Treatment options range from minor lifestyle changes and physical therapy to minimally invasive surgical procedures. Our highly skilled urologists perform procedures including vaginal sling and pelvic organ prolapse procedures, and also run a dedicated urodynamics clinic.

State-of-the-art, minimally invasive techniques such as sacral neuromodulation for an overactive bladder are offered which offer effective relief, and, as part of our Robotics Program, we offer minimally invasive procedures for pelvic organ prolapse.
