Diagnostic Methods for Cystocele at the Helyos Center:
1.Gynecological Consultation:
- The doctor collects the patient's medical history, performs a physical examination, and determines the severity of the condition.
2.Ultrasound Examination:
- Ultrasound imaging allows the doctor to assess the condition of the bladder and anterior vaginal wall.
3.Cystoscopy:
- A procedure to examine the bladder for abnormalities when cystocele is suspected.
4.Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI):
- MRI helps visualize the pelvic floor tissues and ligaments, which can be useful in determining the severity of cystocele.
Treatment Methods for Cystocele at the Helios Center:
1.Conservative Treatment:
- Specialized pelvic floor exercises (such as Kegel exercises) to strengthen muscles
- The use of vaginal inserts or pessaries to support the bladder
- Medications to reduce symptoms, such as antibiotics (to prevent infections) or drugs to regulate urination
2.Surgical Treatment:
- If conservative treatment is ineffective, the Helyos Center offers surgical options:
- Pelvic Floor Surgery: A procedure aimed at strengthening the pelvic floor muscles and restoring normal bladder function.
- Mesh Support Surgery: In cases of severe cystocele, a surgical mesh may be used to provide stable bladder support.
3.Laparoscopic Surgery:
- A minimally invasive method in which the surgeon performs the procedure through small incisions, reducing postoperative pain and recovery time.
4.Rehabilitation After Treatment:
- Following surgery, patients undergo a rehabilitation program, including physical therapy, pelvic floor strengthening exercises, and monitoring of urinary function.
