Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy in Delhi

Some of the most effective treatment in urogynaecology involves no surgery at all. Pelvic floor physiotherapy — supervised training of the muscles that support the bladder, bowel and womb — is the recommended first-line treatment for stress incontinence and mild prolapse, and it helps with pelvic pain too. At Sama Hospital’s urogynaecology unit in South Delhi, it is often where we start, not where we end up.

Most people who are told to do pelvic floor exercises do them incorrectly, and so get no benefit. Supervised physiotherapy is different: you are shown exactly which muscles to use, checked that you are using them correctly, and given a programme that progresses. That is why it works when unsupervised effort often doesn’t.

• Stress urinary incontinence — leaking on coughing, laughing or exercise
• Mild to moderate prolapse
• Pelvic pain and painful intercourse where muscle tightness is involved
• Recovery after childbirth

For stress incontinence and mild prolapse, physiotherapy is the recommended first step — and for many women it resolves the problem with no operation at all. Surgery is considered only if a proper course has been given a fair trial and symptoms remain troublesome. It works well, carries no risk, and costs far less than surgery. Offering it first is simply good medicine.

Not every pelvic floor problem is weakness. In some women the muscles are overactive and cannot relax, causing pelvic pain, painful intercourse or difficulty emptying the bladder. Here the physiotherapy is about learning to release the muscles, not strengthen them — which is exactly why an accurate assessment comes first.

After assessment you are given a tailored programme, taught the technique correctly, and reviewed over a course of sessions across several weeks. Results build gradually with consistent practice; most women notice improvement within a few weeks to a couple of months.

What moves the figure: the number of sessions your programme needs. It is a course rather than a one-off, and it is considerably less costly than surgery.
