Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) is one of the most underdiagnosed and underdiscussed conditions affecting women across all age groups. Often dismissed as a minor inconvenience, the involuntary leakage of urine during physical activities such as sneezing, coughing, or exercise can have a significant emotional and social impact. At Nisha Women’s Hospital, Dr. Himali Maniar Patel is bringing this silent struggle to the forefront, providing empathetic, expert-driven care that empowers women to reclaim their confidence and quality of life.

As a leading gynecologist in South Bopal, Ahmedabad, Dr. Himali Maniar Patel has seen a steady rise in the number of women silently enduring SUI, often too embarrassed to seek help. “Many women think urinary leakage is a normal part of aging or post-childbirth life, but that’s not true,” she explains. “With accurate diagnosis and timely intervention, SUI can be effectively managed and, in many cases, completely treated. No woman should have to suffer in silence.”

At its core, stress urinary incontinence occurs when the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder and urethra, weaken due to factors like childbirth, menopause, obesity, or surgery. When pressure is exerted on the abdomen, such as during coughing or exercising, the weakened muscles fail to keep the urethra closed, leading to leakage. While the condition is common, it is not inevitable — and that’s the message Nisha Women’s Hospital is determined to spread.

The hospital provides comprehensive diagnostic evaluations using advanced urogynecological techniques, allowing the team to customize treatment plans for each patient. Conservative options include pelvic floor physiotherapy, lifestyle modifications, and bladder training. In moderate to severe cases, minimally invasive surgical procedures such as mid-urethral sling placement, laser therapy, and PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) treatments offer targeted and long-lasting relief.

Laser treatments are among the newer, non-invasive modalities offered at Nisha Women’s Hospital. These are especially suited for early to moderate SUI, where gentle, painless laser energy stimulates collagen remodeling in the vaginal walls, enhancing tissue strength and urethral support. Similarly, PRP therapy utilizes the patient's blood plasma, rich in growth factors, to naturally regenerate and strengthen pelvic tissues. Both treatments are conducted as outpatient procedures and involve minimal downtime — a breakthrough for women looking for effective yet non-surgical solutions.

Dr. Himali shares two recent success stories that highlight the breadth of treatment options now available. “One of my patients, a 48-year-old homemaker, had been suffering from SUI for nearly seven years. She had stopped going out socially and even avoided family gatherings,” she recalls. “After evaluating her condition, we began with physiotherapy and eventually moved to a simple sling surgery. Today, she’s back to living a full, active life. That’s the transformation we aim to bring for every woman who walks through our doors.”

In contrast, a 42-year-old teacher, struggling with mild SUI post-menopause, was hesitant about surgery and looking for a more natural option. “She opted for a combination of laser sessions and PRP injections,” Dr. Himali shares. “By her third session, she reported a 70% reduction in symptoms. Her confidence returned, and she even resumed her yoga classes — something she hadn’t dared to do in months.”

Nisha Women’s Hospital is also recognized for its patient-centric philosophy, evident in the clinic’s private consultations, tailored care plans, and strong follow-up systems. As part of their women’s wellness initiative, they have launched awareness campaigns in South Bopal to educate women about pelvic health and encourage them to speak up about issues like SUI. “Our goal is to eliminate the stigma and normalize conversations around female urinary disorders,” Dr. Himali emphasizes. “Awareness is the first step toward healing.”

In addition to her work in SUI, Dr. Himali Maniar Patel is also an expert in managing high-risk pregnancies, laparoscopic hysterectomies, and fertility challenges. Her commitment to holistic women's health has earned her respect across Ahmedabad and beyond. Supporting her vision are her colleagues Dr. Nisarg Patel and Dr. H.B. Patel, who bring decades of experience in obstetrics, laparoscopy, and infertility care.

Third-party experts have also recognized the hospital’s role in shaping modern women’s healthcare. ClinicSpots, a leading healthcare platform, notes, “Nisha Women’s Hospital combines clinical excellence with compassion. Dr. Himali and her team have successfully handled a wide range of complex gynecological cases while maintaining a warm, reassuring environment that empowers patients.”

Dr. Himali concludes with a powerful reminder: “Incontinence doesn’t define you, and help is available. You don’t need to accept discomfort or embarrassment as part of your daily routine. Whether it’s surgery, PRP, or laser therapy, we offer solutions tailored to your lifestyle. If something feels off, speak up. You’re not alone — and we’re here to help.”

With a continued focus on education, innovation, and empathy, Nisha Women’s Hospital is setting a new standard in women’s urological care — and leading the charge to destigmatize stress urinary incontinence in India.
