Urogynaecology Centre

Women with urinary tract infections, overactive bladders, and urinary or fecal incontinence often alter their lifestyle believing these are a part of the aging process. Close to ten percent of women even face a moderate to severe prolapse of pelvic organs, such as the uterus, vagina, bladder and/or rectum. Yet, these are conditions most women are too embarrassed to talk about or even mention to their friends or doctors.

If you are affected by any of these conditions, our specialists at the Department of Urogynaecology will be able to recommend a treatment or solution most suitable for you.

The KK Urogynaecology Centre is the first one-stop centre in Asia, providing unparalleled services for the investigation, diagnosis and treatment of urinary tract disorders and pelvic floor dysfunctions. The centre serves an average of 10,000 patients every year.

The Centre also conducts training for doctors and nurses in Singapore and overseas, and is intensively involved in clinical research.
