UTI & Pelvic Health
Quick treatment for urinary tract infections and comprehensive care for pelvic health conditions. Our female GPs provide sensitive, thorough care for these common concerns.
Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
UTIs are extremely common in women — around 1 in 2 women will experience at least one in their lifetime. They occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract and cause infection.
UTIs need prompt treatment to prevent the infection spreading to your kidneys. See your GP if you experience any of the following symptoms:
UTI Symptoms
Quick Treatment
Most UTIs can be diagnosed with a simple urine test and treated with a short course of antibiotics. You'll usually feel better within 24-48 hours of starting treatment.
Recurrent UTIs
If you're experiencing 3 or more UTIs per year, further investigation may be needed. This might include referral for imaging or to a urologist or urogynaecologist.
Prevention strategies can include:
- Drinking plenty of water
- Urinating after sex
- Vaginal oestrogen cream (for postmenopausal women)
- Prophylactic antibiotics in some cases
Pelvic Conditions We Treat
Endometriosis & Fibroids
Endometriosis affects around 1 in 9 Australian women and can cause severe pelvic pain, heavy periods, and fertility issues. Fibroids are non-cancerous growths in the uterus that can cause heavy bleeding and pelvic pressure.
Your GP can:
- Arrange ultrasound scans for diagnosis
- Prescribe pain management and hormonal treatments
- Refer to gynaecologists for specialist management or surgery
- Provide ongoing support and follow-up care
Pelvic Floor & Prolapse
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the muscles and tissues supporting the pelvic organs (uterus, bladder, bowel) weaken, causing them to drop down. This is common after childbirth and around menopause.
Symptoms can include a feeling of heaviness or dragging in the pelvis, difficulty emptying the bladder or bowel, and urinary incontinence.
Your GP can refer you to a pelvic floor physiotherapist for exercises to strengthen these muscles, or to a specialist if further treatment is needed.
