Women's Urinary Health in London — Platinum Medical Centre

Women in St John's Wood, Maida Vale, Marylebone, and Hampstead who live with urinary incontinence, urgency, or recurrent UTI expect a women's urinary health consultation of the highest private standard — consultant-led, evidence-based, completely discreet, and structured around their professional and personal schedules. Platinum Medical Centre on Lodge Road NW8, 3 minutes from St John's Wood Underground, provides exactly this. Mr. Harshawardhan Godbole FRCS delivers the complete women's urinary health assessment at this Central London location: bladder diary review, urodynamics where indicated, incontinence subtype confirmation, and the full treatment ladder from pelvic floor physiotherapy through medication to Botox injection. For international patients with urinary conditions who are in London, a complete assessment and written management plan is arranged within a single week.

Women's urinary health encompasses urological conditions affecting women specifically or disproportionately: urinary incontinence (stress, urgency, mixed), overactive bladder, pelvic organ prolapse affecting the bladder, recurrent UTI, interstitial cystitis, and urological complications of childbirth. Specialist assessment includes bladder diary, urodynamics, cystoscopy where indicated, and pelvic floor evaluation. Treatment: pelvic floor physiotherapy, antimuscarinics or mirabegron for OAB, mid-urethral sling surgery for stress incontinence, Botox injection for refractory urgency incontinence, intravesical instillations for IC, and topical vaginal oestrogen for post-menopausal genitourinary syndrome. Mr. Godbole provides specialist women's urology at all HRG Urology clinic locations.

### Second Opinion Women's Urinary Health Assessment at Platinum Medical Centre

A specific patient group at Platinum Medical Centre consists of women who have received diagnoses or treatment recommendations elsewhere — a sling surgery recommendation without urodynamics, a diagnosis of OAB without IC exclusion, or a recurrent UTI management plan that has failed repeatedly — and who seek an independent specialist second opinion before proceeding. Mr. Godbole's women's urinary health second opinion at Platinum Medical Centre reviews prior investigation results, repeats urodynamics where the original was inadequate, and provides a revised management plan where the prior approach was incorrectly directed. For women who have been told they need sling surgery, a second opinion at Platinum Medical Centre verifies whether the urodynamic findings justify it.

### Women's Urinary Health in the NW8 Professional Community — Discretion and Schedule

Women in St John's Wood and Maida Vale who manage high-profile professional lives alongside urinary incontinence have specific requirements: the assessment and management programme must be completely discreet — no information shared with NHS records without explicit consent — and appointments must be schedulable around professional commitments. At Platinum Medical Centre, bladder diary review, urodynamics, and follow-up medication adjustments are all scheduled at times that minimise professional disruption. The Botox bladder injection programme — requiring attendance every 6–9 months — is similarly timed to professional availability.

Patient reviews — women's urinary health at Platinum Medical Centre

Alexander Hughes

St John's Wood

My wife had been recommended a bladder sling by another private provider without urodynamics. The second opinion at Platinum Medical Centre included urodynamics — which found predominantly detrusor overactivity, not stress incontinence. The sling would not have helped her primary problem. Bladder training and Botox injection were the correct treatment for her detrusor overactivity. The urodynamic second opinion prevented an unnecessary surgical procedure.

Francesca Romano

Maida Vale

I am Italian and was in London for 3 months with urgency incontinence. The complete assessment at Platinum Medical Centre — bladder diary review, urodynamics, and written management plan — was arranged within one week. Detrusor overactivity confirmed. Mirabegron prescribed. The written management plan provided to my Italian gynaecologist enabled seamless continuation of care when I returned to Italy. The international patient pathway at Platinum Medical Centre was exactly what the situation required.

Tariq Hassan

Marylebone

My wife had recurrent UTIs — 7 in 18 months. The assessment at Platinum Medical Centre identified post-menopausal genitourinary atrophy as the primary cause. Topical vaginal oestrogen and D-mannose supplement prescribed. She has had only one UTI in 11 months since treatment. The hormonal cause of recurrent UTI that repeated antibiotic courses had never identified was found and treated in one specialist consultation.

Sophie Laurent

Hampstead

I had interstitial cystitis that had been managed as recurrent UTI for 2 years. The women's urinary health assessment at Platinum Medical Centre included cystoscopy with hydrodistension — IC confirmed. Hyaluronic acid instillation programme started. The bladder pain and urgency that 2 years of antibiotics had not improved responded to instillation therapy within 6 sessions. The cystoscopy that established the correct diagnosis was the investigation that had been missing for 2 years.

David Goldstein

Swiss Cottage

Swiss Cottage to St John's Wood Underground is 10 minutes walk. My wife had mixed incontinence — stress and urgency components that antimuscarinics alone had not controlled. Urodynamics at Platinum Medical Centre quantified both components. Pelvic floor physiotherapy for the stress component alongside mirabegron for the urgency component produced significantly better control than medication alone. The urodynamic differentiation that directed the two-component treatment was the clinical quality that made the difference.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can I see a private women's urinary health specialist at Platinum Medical Centre?

Most patients are seen within 3–5 working days of first contact at HRG Urology Platinum Medical Centre. Call +44 (0)7884 183968 to book.

I have been recommended a bladder sling without urodynamics — should I get a second opinion at Platinum Medical Centre?

Yes. Sling surgery (TVT/TOT) is highly effective for genuine stress urinary incontinence but does not benefit — and can worsen — urgency incontinence. Urodynamics before sling surgery confirms the mechanism. A sling recommendation without urodynamics may be appropriate if the clinical presentation is unambiguous, but a second opinion at Platinum Medical Centre provides the independent urodynamic assessment that verifies this before surgery. Call +44 (0)7884 183968 to arrange.

I am an international patient in London with incontinence — can I have a complete assessment this week?

Yes. Mr. Godbole's team at Platinum Medical Centre can arrange a comprehensive women's urinary health assessment within a single week: clinical assessment, bladder diary review, urodynamics (if scheduling allows), and a written management plan suitable for sharing with overseas physicians. Call +44 (0)7884 183968 immediately to discuss your timeline.

Is the women's urinary health consultation at Platinum Medical Centre completely confidential?

Yes. All consultations are conducted with absolute confidentiality. No information is shared with NHS GP records without explicit consent. Billing documents do not specify the clinical condition. The consultation environment at Platinum Medical Centre is entirely private.

What is the ICIQ-UI questionnaire and how is it used at Platinum Medical Centre?

The ICIQ-UI (International Consultation on Incontinence Questionnaire — Urinary Incontinence) is a validated 4-item questionnaire measuring incontinence frequency, volume, and impact on daily life. It provides an objective baseline score before treatment and tracks improvement at follow-up. At Platinum Medical Centre, the ICIQ-UI is completed at the initial consultation and at each follow-up — providing an objective measure of treatment response rather than relying on subjective symptom recall alone.
