Conditions Treated

Pelvic Organ Prolapse (Cystocele, Rectocele, Utero-vaginal or Vault prolapse)

Pelvic Organ Prolapse occurs when pelvic organs, such as the bladder, rectum, or uterus, descend into the vaginal canal due to weakness in the pelvic floor muscles. Symptoms may include a feeling of pressure or fullness in the pelvic area, urinary incontinence, or discomfort during sexual activity. Treatment options range from pelvic floor physical therapy to surgical repair, aimed at restoring the normal position of the pelvic organs and alleviating symptoms.

Stress Urinary Incontinence

Stress Urinary Incontinence is characterized by the involuntary leakage of urine during activities that increase pressure inside the abdomen, such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise. This condition is often related to weakness or damage to the pelvic floor muscles or the urethral sphincter. Management strategies include lifestyle modifications, pelvic floor muscle training, and, in more severe cases, surgical interventions to support the urethra and prevent urine leakage.

Overactive Bladder

Overactive Bladder is marked by a sudden, uncontrollable urge to urinate, leading to frequent urination and, in some cases, urine leakage. This condition can disrupt daily life and sleep patterns. Treatments focus on bladder training, medications to relax the bladder muscles, and sometimes nerve stimulation techniques, aiming to improve bladder control and reduce symptoms.

Mixed Incontinence

Mixed Incontinence combines symptoms of both stress urinary incontinence and overactive bladder, including involuntary urine leakage and a frequent, urgent need to urinate. Treatment typically involves a multifaceted approach, incorporating lifestyle changes, pelvic floor muscle exercises, medication, and potentially surgery, tailored to address the severity and type of symptoms presented.

Fecal Incontinence

Fecal Incontinence, the inability to control bowel movements, leading to accidental stool leakage, can significantly impact quality of life. Causes vary from muscle or nerve damage to conditions affecting stool consistency. Treatment options include dietary management, pelvic floor physical therapy, and surgical procedures aimed at improving anal sphincter function or rectal support.

Fistula (Rectovaginal or Vesicovaginal fistula)

Fistulas, such as Rectovaginal or Vesicovaginal, are abnormal connections that form between the vagina and the rectum or bladder, respectively. These conditions can lead to leakage of urine or feces into the vagina, causing distress and hygiene issues. Treatment often involves surgical repair to close the fistula and restore normal anatomy and function.

Mesh Complications

Mesh complications arise from the surgical use of mesh in pelvic organ prolapse or incontinence surgery, leading to issues such as pain, infection, erosion into surrounding tissues, or recurrent symptoms. Management may include conservative measures, such as pain management and physical therapy, or surgical removal of the mesh and repair of the affected area.

Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections

Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) involve multiple episodes of UTIs within a year. Factors contributing to recurrence can include anatomical variations, hormonal changes, or lifestyle factors. Treatment focuses on identifying underlying causes, possibly using prophylactic antibiotics, and implementing strategies to prevent future infections.

Hematuria

Hematuria, or the presence of blood in the urine, can be a sign of various conditions ranging from infections to bladder cancer. Evaluations typically involve urine tests, imaging studies, and sometimes cystoscopy to identify the source of bleeding. Treatment depends on the underlying cause, aiming to resolve the primary condition.

Bladder Pain

Bladder pain can be a symptom of conditions such as interstitial cystitis, infections, or bladder stones. Characterized by discomfort or pain in the bladder area, treatments vary widely and may include dietary modifications, pain management strategies, physical therapy, and medications to treat the underlying condition.

Urethral Diverticulum

Urethral Diverticulum is a pouch that forms along the urethra, potentially leading to infections, urinary obstruction, or pain. Diagnosis often requires imaging studies or endoscopy, with treatment usually involving surgical removal of the diverticulum to relieve symptoms and prevent complications.

Pelvic Pain and Dyspareunia

Pelvic Pain and Dyspareunia (painful intercourse) can result from a variety of conditions, including endometriosis, pelvic inflammatory disease, or muscle spasms. Evaluation may involve a thorough medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic tests. Treatment aims to address the underlying cause and may include medication, physical therapy, or surgery to alleviate pain and improve quality of life.

Childbirth-Related Injuries

Childbirth-related injuries treatment focuses on comprehensive care for women experiencing pelvic floor disorders resulting from childbirth. There are a range of treatment options, including physical therapy, minimally invasive procedures, and surgical interventions tailored to each patient's unique needs. With a compassionate and understanding approach, Dr. Noor works closely with her patients to ensure they receive personalized care and support throughout their treatment journey.
