With 10+ years of clinical experience, she brings a research oriented and evidence based approach to patient care, with a special focus on urogynecological concerns, pelvic floor disorders, high risk pregnancies, and women’s reproductive health.
Dr. Prathima A. was a gold medalist in her MBBS from Sri Devaraj Urs Medical College, Kolar. She completed her MS OBG from the prestigious Bangalore Medical College and Research Centre.

Urogynaecology and Pelvic Floor Care
Her clinical interests include urinary incontinence, urinary leaks, stress urinary incontinence, urinary urgency, urgency incontinence, pelvic floor weakness, pelvic organ prolapse, and other bladder and pelvic floor concerns affecting women.
Dr. Prathima has expertise in procedures including non descent vaginal hysterectomy, pelvic organ prolapse repairs, apical suspension, and anti incontinence surgeries. Women experiencing urine leakage while coughing or exercising, difficulty controlling the bladder, sudden urgency, pelvic pressure, or a vaginal bulge can consult her for clinical evaluation and an appropriate care plan.
Urogynaecological concerns can affect women at different stages of life, including after childbirth and around menopause. Symptoms such as recurrent urinary concerns, vaginal dryness, vulvovaginal irritation, or changes in bladder control should be assessed individually because similar symptoms can have different underlying causes.
Obstetrics and Gynaecology Experience
Dr. Prathima’s exposure to patient led antenatal care, early pregnancy complications, and high risk pregnancies during her NHS tenure provided her with a comprehensive skill set for holistic care delivery. She specialises in family centred deliveries and gentle Cesarean sections.
She has worked as a specialty trainee in Urogynaecology at the WWL NHS Trust, UK, and as a consultant obstetrician and urogynaecologist at Brindhavvan Areion Hospital, Bengaluru, and Suguna Hospital, Bengaluru.
