HNY Perinatal Pelvic Health Services
Roughly 1 in 3 women experience urinary incontinence (unintentional passing of urine) 3 months after pregnancy, and around 1 in 7 experience faecal (bowel) incontinence 6 months after birth.
One in 12 women report symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse - which is when one or more of the organs in the pelvis slip down from their normal position and bulge into the vagina.
These distressing issues can affect women’s ability to work, their sexual and social relationships, and their mental health.
Our Perinatal Pelvic Health Services will:
- ensure all women are offered a self-assessment of their pelvic health as early as possible in pregnancy - and by 18 weeks at the latest
- educate all women on the risk of pelvic floor dysfunction and birth injuries and preventative action they can take to reduce this risk
- provide additional support to those at higher risk of pelvic health problems
- reduce NHS waiting times and minimise administrative barriers to treatment
- allow affected women to access appropriate physiotherapy assessment and personalised treatment.

HNY Local Maternity and Neo Natal
Neonatal care is the type of care a baby born prematurely or sick in some way receives in a neonatal unit. Neonatal Units are a part of hospitals which provide care for babies who are born prematurely (before 37 weeks’ gestation), with a medical condition which needs treatment, or at a low birthweight. Having a baby (or babies) taken to neonatal care can be worrying, but the staff looking after your baby should make sure you receive all the information, communication and support you need.
