Pelvic Floor Clinic (Urology, Colorectal Surgery, Gynaecology)

A pelvic floor is a group of muscles in your pelvic area. These muscles support the organs in your pelvis like a sling. The organs in this area include the bladder, uterus (women), prostate (men), and rectum. By contracting and relaxing these muscles, you control your bowel and bladder movements. 

Jaslok Hospital runs a Pelvic Floor Clinic, a specialised centre of excellence to diagnose and treat pelvic floor dysfunction. It acts as a national referral centre for the patients of Mumbai and all of Western India. 

This clinic offers one-stop consultation with a highly trained multidisciplinary team of a gastroenterologist, colorectal surgeon, gynaecologist, urologist and nurse specialist, making it a one-of-its-kind clinic. This multidisciplinary approach enables the clinic to investigate and treat the condition with a well-defined plan and offer the best care in keeping with international standards.

The clinic offers treatment for all pelvic floor conditions, including chronic constipation or obstructed defecation, urinary and stool incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, sexual dysfunction, fistulas simple and complex and rectocele/Cystocele.
