Evidence of two or more UTIs in six months, or three or more UTIs in one year is defined as recurrent UTI Treatment of aggravating factors should always be considered if found #recurrentuti #urineinfection #utiinwomen #womenshealthmatters #womenshealth #melbournegynaecologist #urinarytractinfection @ Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

01.01.2022 Treatment for pelvic organ prolapse: If you do not have any symptoms, or the prolapse is mild and not bothering you, you may not need medical treatment immediately. But making some lifestyle changes is a great strategy. One might look at these as long term investments. These include: Lose weight, exercise regularly Avoid heavy lifting... Prevent &/or treat constipation Quit smoking Optimise medical conditions e.g. diabetes, asthma, chronic cough etc If the prolapse is more severe or your symptoms are affecting your daily life, there are several further treatment options to consider. These include: pelvic floor exercises through Supervised Physiotherapy sessions. This includes seeing a women’s or pelvic floor physiotherapist vaginal pessaries: these are devices inserted in the vagina to support or contain prolapse. These become a great option for those not suitable for surgery or not wanting to have surgery for personal reasons. Surgery: There are different types of surgery for women suffering from prolapse. It involves either a vaginal approach or abdominal approach. The recommended treatment will depend on the type and severity of the prolapse, your symptoms, previous prolapse surgeries and your overall health. But above all, it will be your decision whether to have surgery or not and which one you feel comfortable. Surgical treatment of prolapse depends on which one of the organs are involved. Generally there is a combination of different organs. Over all, there are 3 organs that can prolapse: Bladder, Uterus/Cervix or Rectum. Women who have had previous hysterectomy, may present with vault prolapse. Also, It’s common to have more than one organ presenting with prolapse which could be a combination of bladder, bowel and uterus. Vaginal surgeries for each organ are as followed: Anterior vaginal repair (bladder prolapse) Posterior vaginal repair (bowel prolapse) Hysterectomy for uterine prolapse Vault suspension procedures (for vaginal vault prolapse)#anteriorvaginalrepair #cystocelerepair #posteriorvaginalrepair #rectocelerepair #vaultprolapse #vaultsuspension #sacrospinousfixation #colpopexy #uterineprolapse
