WOMEN'S UROLOGY • Mercurrey Hospital, Thane

Women's Urinary Health in Thane — Mercurrey Hospital

Women along the Ghodbunder Road corridor — from Hiranandani Estate to Brahmand — include working professionals, corporate managers, and active women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s for whom urinary incontinence during exercise, urgency that disrupts meetings, or recurrent UTIs affecting productivity represent conditions with direct professional impact. Mercurrey Hospital at Kapurbawdi junction, 10–15 minutes from most Ghodbunder Road residential communities, provides specialist women's urinary health assessment that meets the expectations of this professional patient community: evidence-based treatment options, a clear diagnosis that distinguishes the type of incontinence, and a realistic treatment timeline. Mr. Harshawardhan Godbole FRCS leads this service. Female chaperone at every appointment. Consultation ₹1,000.

Women's urinary health encompasses the urological conditions affecting women specifically or disproportionately: urinary incontinence (stress, urgency, mixed), overactive bladder, pelvic organ prolapse affecting the bladder, recurrent UTI, interstitial cystitis, ureteral and urethral conditions, and urological complications of pregnancy and childbirth. Specialist women's urology 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, and intravesical instillations for interstitial cystitis. Mr. Godbole provides specialist women's urology assessment at all HRG Urology clinic locations.

### Exercise-Induced Incontinence in Ghodbunder Road's Active Female Population

The Ghodbunder Road professional community includes many active women — gym members, runners, yoga practitioners — who experience stress incontinence during high-impact activities. This "exercise incontinence" is the most common presentation of stress urinary incontinence in women under 45, and it significantly affects the ability to maintain an active lifestyle. At Mercurrey Hospital, exercise-induced incontinence is assessed with the sport-specific bladder diary — recording which activities cause leakage, at what point during exercise, and the volume of leakage — providing a treatment plan specifically calibrated to the patient's sporting and activity profile.

### Urodynamics — When the Diagnosis Is Unclear at Mercurrey Hospital

For women with complex or mixed incontinence where the clinical assessment alone does not provide a clear diagnosis, urodynamics — a bladder function test measuring pressure during filling and voiding — confirms the specific diagnosis. Urodynamics distinguishes genuine stress incontinence (urethral hypermobility, intrinsic sphincter deficiency) from detrusor overactivity (OAB), identifies voiding dysfunction (underactive bladder), and quantifies the urgency component of mixed incontinence. At Mercurrey Hospital, urodynamics is arranged where the bladder diary and clinical assessment leave diagnostic uncertainty — ensuring that treatment is directed at the confirmed diagnosis rather than assumed from symptoms alone.

Why choose Mercurrey Hospital for women's urinary health?

  • Ghodbunder Road women choose Mercurrey Hospital for women's urinary health assessment because the Kapurbawdi location is 10–20 minutes from their homes — making the multiple appointments of structured incontinence management (bladder diary review, physiotherapy referral, medication adjustment) practical.
  • Exercise-induced incontinence assessment at Mercurrey Hospital — calibrated to the specific sport or activity causing leakage — provides a treatment plan that enables the active Ghodbunder Road woman to maintain her lifestyle while resolving her incontinence.
  • Urodynamics for diagnostic uncertainty at Mercurrey Hospital ensures that complex or mixed incontinence is treated based on confirmed diagnosis rather than symptomatic assumption — preventing misdirected treatment.

Patient reviews — women's urinary health at Mercurrey Hospital

Amandeep Sodhi

Ghodbunder Road

I had stress incontinence during my gym sessions — stopping high-impact exercise entirely because of leakage. The sport-specific assessment at Mercurrey Hospital — recording which exercises caused leakage and at what intensity — produced a targeted physiotherapy programme. 12 weeks of supervised Kegel exercises and return to my full gym routine within 4 months, without leakage. The exercise-specific treatment at the Kapurbawdi location that understood my active lifestyle was exactly right.

Meena Bhatt

Hiranandani Estate

I had complex incontinence — both stress and urgency components, with the urgency predominating. The urodynamics at Mercurrey Hospital confirmed detrusor overactivity as the primary problem with a smaller stress component. Mirabegron and pelvic floor physiotherapy together produced significant improvement. The urodynamic confirmation that directed my treatment to the primary problem — rather than treating both equally — was the clinical precision that produced a better result than previous management.

Naresh Bhandari

Manpada

My wife had recurrent UTIs — 5 in 12 months. The assessment at Mercurrey Hospital identified incomplete bladder emptying as the primary cause — post-void residual was 150ml. Timed voiding protocol and bladder training to improve emptying reduced the residual to under 50ml. She has had only one UTI in 9 months since starting the protocol — compared to 5 in the 12 months before. The modifiable cause that the residual measurement identified was what the antibiotic courses had never addressed.

Lalitha Krishnamurthy

Brahmand

I came from Brahmand to Mercurrey Hospital for women's urinary health assessment — urgency incontinence that had restricted my social life. The assessment excluded IC (cystoscopy clear), confirmed detrusor overactivity on urodynamics, and directed solifenacin and bladder training. Urgency incontinence resolved significantly within 8 weeks. The diagnostic precision — cystoscopy to exclude IC, urodynamics to confirm OAB — was the clinical quality that produced a targeted treatment outcome.

Pawan Khatri

Kapurbawdi

My wife had interstitial cystitis that had been managed for years as recurrent UTI. Coming to Mercurrey Hospital's women's urinary health service — which included cystoscopy for any chronic symptom pattern without confirmed infection — finally produced the IC diagnosis. Hyaluronic acid instillations started. Her quality of life has improved significantly. The women's urinary health assessment that included cystoscopy in the chronic symptom evaluation was what ended years of antibiotic mismanagement.

Frequently asked questions

I leak when I run or do gym — is this treatable without surgery at Mercurrey Hospital?

Yes — most women with exercise-induced stress incontinence respond to supervised pelvic floor physiotherapy without requiring surgery. A 12-week programme of structured Kegel exercises, progressing in intensity to match the sport causing leakage, produces meaningful improvement in 60–70% of women. Compression shorts or pessary support during high-impact activity can provide interim symptomatic control while physiotherapy takes effect. Where physiotherapy is insufficient, mid-urethral sling surgery provides 80–85% cure for exercise-induced stress incontinence.

What is urodynamics and when is it needed at Mercurrey Hospital?

Urodynamics is a bladder function test involving a small pressure catheter in the bladder and rectum, measuring pressure during filling and voiding. It is arranged when the clinical history and bladder diary leave diagnostic uncertainty — particularly for mixed incontinence (both stress and urgency), incontinence where the story doesn't match the examination findings, or before sling surgery to ensure stress incontinence is the primary mechanism. Urodynamics takes approximately 45–60 minutes and is performed without anaesthesia.

I have had recurrent UTIs every 2–3 months — can a cause be found at Mercurrey Hospital?

Yes. The assessment at Mercurrey Hospital identifies modifiable risk factors for recurrent UTI: post-void residual (incomplete bladder emptying where bacteria multiply), sexual activity patterns, anatomical factors, hormonal status (post-menopausal genitourinary atrophy), and personal hygiene practices. Investigations include urine culture, post-void residual measurement, and cystoscopy where haematuria accompanies recurrent UTI. Management is specific to the identified risk factor — not another antibiotic course without investigation.

Is pelvic organ prolapse related to urinary incontinence, and is prolapse assessment available at Mercurrey Hospital?

Yes. Pelvic organ prolapse — descent of the bladder (cystocele), uterus, or rectum into the vaginal canal — frequently coexists with and contributes to urinary incontinence. A large cystocele can kink the urethra, creating 'occult' stress incontinence that is unmasked by prolapse repair. Prolapse evaluation is included in the women's urinary health assessment at Mercurrey Hospital where the clinical history suggests prolapse as a contributing factor.

Can urinary leakage affect professional performance, and is this addressed at Mercurrey Hospital?

Yes — significantly. Meeting attendance disrupted by urgency, exercise class avoidance from stress leakage, and the constant awareness of pad use all impact professional confidence and social engagement. At Mercurrey Hospital, the OAB-q or ICIQ-UI quality-of-life questionnaire quantifies the professional and lifestyle impact of urinary symptoms — and the treatment targets are set with professional life quality specifically in mind.
