How care works
Assessment: a detailed history, examination, bladder scan and urodynamic studies to understand exactly how your bladder behaves.
Treatment is tailored to you and may include medicines, learning to empty the bladder with a catheter (intermittent self-catheterisation), bladder Botox injections, and managing infections.
Regular review: neurological bladder problems change over time. Follow-up testing, including repeat urodynamics where needed, helps protect the kidneys and keeps treatment right for you.
Care is coordinated with your neurologist, rehabilitation team and family doctor.
Common questions
Why do I need regular bladder checks?
In some neurological conditions, high bladder pressure can silently damage the kidneys. Regular review picks this up early.
Do you see girls under 18?
Yes. Dr Achila sees girls with neurological bladder problems, together with their parents or carers.
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly, or your neurologist or doctor can refer you.
