Gynaecology surgery is common across the lifespan.

At Body & Birth Physiotherapy some of the conditions we see pre- and post- gynaecology surgery include: 

• Diagnostic laparoscopies and subsequent removal of endometriosis for pelvic pain

• Pelvic floor botox to assist in reduction in overactive pelvic floor muscles

• Hysterectomy for prolapse, heavy menstrual bleeding, uterine fibroids or cancer

• Bladder and bowel prolapse repair

• Haemorrhoidectomy

​​

We can help you prepare for your surgery to optimise your pelvic floor function beforehand, optimise your comfort in the early post-operative period and assist with your rehabilitation and achievement of long-term goals. Some of the points we cover in our pre- and post-operative surgery consults include:

• Movement optimisation

• Modification of physical activities

• Bowel and bladder care

• Postural advice

• Wound support

• Pelvic floor muscle assessment 

• Breathing

If you have an upcoming surgery, the ideal time to see us is at least 6 weeks prior for a physical assessment, education and goal setting.
