Incontinence

Aberdeen

Urinary incontinence is a common, uncomfortable and upsetting problem affecting millions of people.

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.

I wanted to let Valerie Peddie know that we are q weeks pregnant today and our scan shows the baby is well and developing as expected. Her kindness, patience and general support as I was going through the IVF process in London but attending your clinic in Aberdeen for scans was invaluable to me. Please thank her so much on my behalf.

I got a same-day appointment with Dr Dele-salawu on 14th October. She was very knowledgeable and attentive, she allowed me to tell her the details of my concerns and arranged appropriately for urgent tests. I was very pleased with the whole experience.

Testimonial

Attended this clinic for minor surgery and was very impressed indeed. Dr Sathis Wijemanne was exceptionally professional and explained in detail what to expect from the procedure. He was patient and put me at ease right away. The nurse and reception staff were very welcoming and friendly. I highly recommend this clinic
