Urogynecological physiotherapy package- 3 visits

What is urogynecological physiotherapy?

Urogynecological physiotherapy is an effective method of treatment and prevention of such ailments as urinary incontinence, increased painful menstruation, endometriosis, lowering of the pelvic organs. Untreated urinary or genital conditions reduce the comfort of life and can lead to serious illnesses. Although they are common, they are still considered embarrassing by many people.

What does a visit look like?

At Damian Medical Center, we make sure that the patient feels comfortable throughout the visit, and that the consultation and therapy take place in a professional atmosphere. The first point of therapy is a detailed interview, after which the therapist proceeds to posture assessment and palpation examination. Depending on the problem and the patient's consent, there is an internal examination of the pelvic floor muscle structures (per Vaginam). We highly value the comfort of our patients and the final decision to conduct this examination is up to the patient. However, it is important to keep in mind that internal techniques give a better picture of the pelvic floor muscles and because they give the therapist better access to the structures that need to be released they are also more therapeutically valuable.

Per vaginam and per rectum examinations

These examinations are always performed only with the patient's consent. The physiotherapist makes sure that the patient feels safe and comfortable during the examination.

During the examination, the physiotherapist uses gloves and a special gel. Placing a finger in the vagina or anus and placing the other hand on the abdominal integuments or sacral area, she asks the patient to tense certain muscle parts while examining them by palpation. The examination is also a form of therapy during which the patient learns to use the pelvic floor muscles consciously.
