Urinary incontinence
Urinary incontinence is a condition affecting millions of people worldwide, in which control of the bladder is lost, resulting in involuntary urine loss. This condition can vary in severity and impact on daily life. From limiting social activities to causing emotional discomfort, urinary incontinence can affect various aspects of life.
Fortunately, there are numerous diagnostic and treatment options available to effectively address this condition. Through specialised care, we aim to help manage symptoms and improve quality of life.

Often an interaction between bladder, vagina and rectum
Genital prolapse, also known as pelvic organ prolapse, occurs when the pelvic organs, such as the bladder, uterus or intestines, sag out of their normal position and may protrude through the vaginal opening.
This condition can cause discomfort, feeling of pressure in the pelvic area and problems with urination, defecation or sexual activity.
Fortunately, several treatment options are available, from conservative therapies to surgical procedures, to relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.
Our team of specialists is ready to assess individual needs and provide tailor-made treatment plans for an effective and personalised care experience.
Of course, all this is done in consultation in our multidisciplinary team.

Pelviperineal Pain in Woman
Pelviperineal pain in women is a complex and often debilitating condition that causes pain in the pelvic and perineal area. This pain can range from mild to severe and can be continuous or intermittent. Women of all ages can be affected.
Causes
The causes of pelviperineal pain are diverse and may include endometriosis, interstitial cystitis, pelvic floor dysfunction, infections, scar tissue after surgery or childbirth, and nerve damage.
Sometimes the pain can also occur without a clear cause, making diagnosis difficult.
Symptoms
Symptoms of pelviperineal pain include persistent pain in the lower abdomen, perineum, vulva or vagina. This pain may worsen during sexual activity, urination, defecation, prolonged sitting or standing.
The pain may also be accompanied by other symptoms such as frequent urination, pain when urinating, constipation or painful periods.
Diagnosis
Diagnosis often begins with a thorough medical history and physical examination, paying specific attention to the pelvic floor muscles and nerves.
Additional diagnostic tests may be needed to identify the cause of the pain.
Treatment
Treatment of pelviperineal pain is usually multidisciplinary and may include physiotherapy, medication, nerve blocks and, in some cases, surgery.
In addition, lifestyle modifications, such as stress management, dietary changes and pelvic floor training, can help reduce pain. It is also important to seek psychological support, as chronic pain can have a significant impact on mental health and overall well-being.
Conclusion
Although pelviperineal pain is a challenging condition, there are several treatment options available that can help relieve symptoms and improve quality of life.
Timely diagnosis and a holistic approach to treatment are essential for effective management of this problem.
Perineum care after childbirth
Too often, the newly delivered woman is not heard or does not express herself. It is not always easy for a new mother to admit that things might be a bit less rosy than she had thought. The pelvic floor indeed takes a lot of strain during childbirth, and it is important to acknowledge this and get proper care. A good start means good self-care, and this includes the proper treatment of the pelvic floor, even in the early days.
For this reason, we have decided to open our doors for a semi-urgent midwife consultation, so you can turn to someone with expertise, and where the perineologist can assist if things are a bit more complicated.
Our story
In 2023, we finally decided to expand our expertise outside the hospital to a more personal setting and to do so in a brand new location: the Mirha Pelvic Care Centre.
Our aim is to further improve the quality of care through a personalised approach, in which 1 of the specialists will receive you the 1st time and then work out an appropriate care path with you, organising advice and a multidisciplinary consultation if necessary.
In doing so, we are pleased to be able to count on highly specialised healthcare providers in our team including;
- Gynaecologists
- Urologists
- Digestive surgeon
- Neurosurgeon
- Specialists in vulvovaginal skin and mucosal pathologies
- Pelvic floor mechographers
- Pain specialists
- Physiotherapists
- Midwives
- Sexologists
- Psychologists
- Life coach
- Mindfulness therapist
Functional problems, such as urinary and anal incontinence, prolapse problems, as well as sexual problems and chronic pelvic floor pain, are carefully addressed through a multidisciplinary care pathway.
Although some problems may be solved by a single specialist, we offer multidisciplinary consultations with several doctors and/or healthcare providers together if necessary.
For more complex issues, a multidisciplinary meeting is held first, followed by feedback during a consultation with your assigned doctor at the centre.
The therapeutic pathway can be partly completed at the centre itself using innovative techniques such as the injection of Botox, hyaluronic acid or PRP. However, for surgical procedures, we will treat you in hospital. For more information on this, please contact your doctor.
