In a field traditionally shaped by women for women, Dr. Siva stands out not just because he is a man in the field of urogynecology, but because of the quiet, compassionate strength he brings to his work. Based in Sunway Medical Centre, Penang, Dr. Siva has dedicated his career to addressing the often unspoken yet deeply impactful health issues affecting women across every stage of life.


From postnatal recovery to menopausal transitions, his patients range from young adults facing vaginal health concerns to older women seeking solutions for urinary incontinence or pelvic floor weakness. What they all find in Dr. Siva is the same thing:


a doctor who listens without judgment, respects privacy, and aims for long-term well-being.

Why Pelvic Floor Health Matters


Many women don’t realize just how critical the pelvic floor muscles are until things go wrong. These muscles act like a hammock, supporting the bladder, uterus, and bowel. After childbirth, with age, or even due to chronic straining, these muscles can weaken, leading to problems like:


• Urine leakage

• Pelvic organ prolapse

• Painful intercourse

• Recurrent infections or discharge


Dr. Siva is often the first specialist women see after enduring discomfort or embarrassment in silence. "It's not just about fixing a symptom," he shares. "It's about restoring a woman’s confidence in her own body."

Less Surgery, More Empowerment


While many urogynaecological issues can be resolved with surgical procedures, Dr. Siva’s approach leans toward minimal intervention wherever possible. He focuses on education, lifestyle modifications, and pelvic floor rehabilitation, empowering women to take control of their health early on. When surgery is needed, he ensures it's done with the least disruption to quality of life.


More Than a Specialist


Walking into Dr. Siva’s clinic doesn’t feel like entering a medical facility. It feels like entering a safe space. Women who may feel uncomfortable discussing intimate concerns find that, with him, their fears dissolve. His calm demeanor and respectful approach foster trust, especially for women seeking help for conditions that are still, unfortunately, wrapped in taboo.


"Whether you're a young woman with persistent yeast infections or a mother recovering from childbirth, your concerns are real. You deserve answers and support," says Dr. Siva.
