Urinary Incontinence: One of the most common urological complaints in women is urinary incontinence, where there is uncontrolled urine leakage. About 30-40% of women over 60 years old are affected. This condition can result from pregnancies, childbirth, or age-related changes in the pelvic floor muscles.
Bladder Infections (Cystitis): Women are significantly more likely to experience bladder infections than men. In most cases, these are recurring urinary tract infections that can cause pain and a burning sensation while urinating. Chronic cystitis can also occur and may require targeted urological treatment.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Pelvic organ prolapse is a condition in which the pelvic organs, such as the bladder or uterus, slip down and into the vagina. This can be caused by weakening of the pelvic floor, which is often seen after pregnancies or in women during menopause.
Kidney Stones and Urinary Tract Issues: Women can also suffer from kidney stones or other urinary tract issues, such as urethral strictures. These problems can cause pain and difficulty urinating and often require urological examination and treatment.
