Urinary incontinence affects millions but remains undertreated due to embarrassment. Dr. Maharajh provides compassionate, effective treatment for all types of incontinence, helping patients regain confidence and quality of life.
Incontinence—involuntary urine leakage—isn’t a normal part of ageing and can usually be improved or cured. It affects both men and women, with different causes and treatments for each. As KwaZulu-Natal’s only female urologist, Dr. Maharajh offers particular expertise in female incontinence.
No, incontinence is not a normal part of ageing. Whilst it's more common with age due to muscle weakening and other factors, it's a treatable medical condition. Many patients see significant improvement or complete cure with appropriate treatment.
Incontinence affects 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men at some point. It's incredibly common, and Dr. Maharajh treats these conditions daily with complete discretion and understanding. Many patients wish they'd sought help sooner.
Yes, many patients improve significantly with non-surgical treatments. Pelvic floor exercises, bladder training, and medications help 70% of patients. Surgery is reserved for cases where conservative treatments haven't provided adequate relief.
Most patients can reduce or eliminate pad use with treatment. Even severe incontinence often improves dramatically. The goal is to restore your confidence and allow you to engage in activities without worry about leakage.
This varies by treatment type. Medications may work within 2-4 weeks, pelvic floor exercises typically show benefit after 3-6 months of consistent practice, and surgical options often provide immediate improvement. Dr. Maharajh will set realistic expectations based on your treatment plan.
