Urogynaecology and breast topics for General Physicians
How urogynecology & breast health is tested
Written for DHA, SMLE, DOH, QCHP, OMSB, MOH, NHRA and Kuwait MOH — the same GP licensing mix, not a urogynecology & breast health specialist paper.
These stems split stress vs urge incontinence, name a prolapse compartment, and still use triple assessment for a breast lump.
Stress leaks on cough; urge is detrusor overactivity. Bladder diaries and pelvic-floor physiotherapy come before jumping to mesh stories. Prolapse is POP-Q language at a GP level (which wall).
Recurrent UTI needs a cause in postmenopausal women (atrophy). Breast: same triple assessment as the surgery bank.
First treatment for stress incontinence?
Pelvic-floor training, weight, and treat cough/constipation. Surgery is not the opening MCQ answer in an uncomplicated stem.
Urge incontinence drug class?
Antimuscarinics or beta-3 agonists after lifestyle and bladder training. Know the elderly confusion trap with anticholinergics.
Mastitis in a non-lactating woman?
Think inflammatory cancer if it does not settle. Lactational mastitis is the other, more common, stem.
