Incontinence

Aberdeen

Urinary incontinence is a common and often distressing condition that impacts the lives of millions. Our specialised incontinence service is here to provide compassionate, effective solutions to help you regain comfort and confidence.

Many people think that it is an inevitable part of ageing, although incontinence can be present at any age and indeed affect both sexes, not just women. There are several forms of effective treatment, and although some patients will need surgery, an initial thorough assessment is key.

Our goal is to offer the most effective solutions, ensuring patients are looked after at all times, as not all ‘incontinence’ is the same, or treated in the same way.

What is Incontinence?

Incontinence is as the unintentional passing of urine. There can be a wide variety of different causes including:

Stress urinary incontinence (for example when you cough or laugh or exercise)
Urge urinary incontinence (‘if you have to go, you have to go and cannot hold it’)
Mixed urinary incontinence
Overflow urinary incontinence
Neurological bladder disorder
Post-micturition dribble
Functional urinary incontinence

If you suspect that you are suffering from incontinence or bladder issues, it is recommended to consult a doctor. Our specialists can make an in-depth diagnosis by finding out more about your symptoms and recommend treatment to improve your condition.

How is Incontinence managed at ROC?

Having a thorough initial assessment is key in order to precisely diagnose your condition.

Following an initial consultation and examination, you may require any of the following:

• Urine and Blood Laboratory Analysis
• Ultrasound of your prostate, bladder, kidneys and/or gynaecological ultrasound
• Urodynamics Flow Studies
• Cystoscopy

Except Cystoscopy, all of the above are available daily.

You may consult one of our GPs, Urology or Gynaecology specialists for your initial assessment who will then recommend what the best course of action is. Often, you may not require further investigations and you will be prescribed either medications, lifestyle changes such as pelvic floor exercises or be referred for surgery.

Our reviews - What our patients say

Attended the clinic for breast screening. I was treated very well and had all my questions answered. The consultant was very kind, also the nurse who made me a cup of tea! I left very reassured.

I had minor surgery with Sathis Wijemanne last week, and he was excellent. Sathis was very friendly and explained everything clearly before the surgery took place. I couldn't believe how efficient and painless the entire process was. I would highly recommend Sathis to anyone looking to have a minor surgical procedure done.

Fantastic service, Val is both informative and compassionate. My experience wouldn’t be the same without her guidance and support. I’m very grateful and recommend it to anyone who is considering using the service.
