Neuro-Urology Services
At Sunway Medical Centre Velocity (SMCV), our Neuro-Urology services focus on the diagnosis and management of urinary and pelvic floor disorders caused by neurological conditions. Neuro-Urology bridges the fields of neurology and urology, treating bladder, sphincter, and pelvic floor dysfunctions resulting from conditions that affect the brain, spinal cord, or peripheral nerves.
Our specialists combine clinical expertise with advanced diagnostic tools to ensure accurate assessment and personalised treatment for each patient.
Understanding Neuro-Urology
Neurological disorders can disrupt the communication between the nervous system and urinary tract, leading to challenges such as incontinence, urinary retention, urgency, frequency, or recurrent infections.
At Sunway Medical Centre Velocity, we treat patients with a wide range of neurological conditions, including stroke, spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, diabetic neuropathy, and congenital disorders such as spina bifida, who may develop bladder or pelvic floor complications.
Early diagnosis and proper management are important to prevent long-term complications such as kidney damage, recurrent infections, or reduced quality of life.
Preventing Bladder Complications
Many neuro-urological problems develop gradually and may go unnoticed. Common risk factors include uncontrolled diabetes, spinal trauma, ageing, long-term neurological illness, pelvic surgeries, and chronic constipation.
At Sunway Medical Centre Velocity, we emphasise:
- Regular bladder and kidney function assessments
- Early evaluation for urinary symptoms
- Awareness of red flags such as recurrent UTIs, inability to empty the bladder, or new-onset incontinence
- Lifestyle measures including hydration, pelvic floor health, and bowel management
Our team guides patients with preventive care, rehabilitation options, and long-term monitoring to protect bladder and kidney health.
