How to get referred to the urogynaecology service
There are three ways for you to access our urogynaecology service:
- You can ask your GP to refer you to our service
- If you are seeing a consultant at the hospital they may refer you
- If you are post-natal your midwife can also refer you
For any urogynaecology enquiries please call 0113 20 66252 (Monday to Friday 8.00 am to 4.00 pm).
Your referral
The Urogynaecology team will review your referral and may feel it is most appropriate for you to see a pelvic health physiotherapist as a first line of treatment.
Your first physiotherapy session will be via a small, informal online session (Microsoft Teams) with a group of up to 12 ladies who have similar problems to yourself and led by a member of the urogynaecology pelvic health team.
In the group we will discuss the causes of bladder and prolapse symptoms, including activities and lifestyle habits which may make your symptoms worse. You will also be taught some simple exercises to help improve your symptoms, and advice to help yourself.
During the session the health care professional will discuss options for 1:1 face to face appointments going forwards. There will also be an opportunity to ask questions privately at the end of the session.
