Top 4 Female Urology & Incontinence Specialists in Jabal Amman 2026

When do you need this specialty or procedure?

Female urology and urogynaecology deal with bladder and pelvic floor problems in women. Two kinds of doctor work in this area. Urologists focus on the urinary tract, including the bladder, urethra and kidneys. Gynaecologists with an interest in urogynaecology focus on the pelvic floor, often in connection with pregnancy, childbirth and menopause. This page includes both.

Common reasons women seek this care include:

• Stress incontinence: leaking when you cough, sneeze, laugh, lift or exercise.
• Urge incontinence or overactive bladder: a sudden, strong need to pass urine, sometimes with leakage before you reach the toilet, or getting up often at night.
• Mixed incontinence: a combination of both.
• Pelvic organ prolapse: a feeling of heaviness, dragging or a bulge in the vagina.
• Recurrent urinary tract infections: burning, frequency or cloudy urine that keeps coming back.
• Difficulty emptying the bladder: a weak stream or a feeling that the bladder is not fully empty.

It is worth booking a visit if leakage affects your daily life, work, sleep, exercise or relationships, or if symptoms started or worsened after childbirth or around menopause. Incontinence is common, but it is not something you simply have to accept. Mainstream guidance, including the NHS, describes pelvic floor muscle training and bladder training as first-line options for many women, and a specialist can assess which approach may be suitable for you.

Warning signs that need urgent care

Call 911 or go to an emergency department straight away if you have:

• Inability to pass urine at all, especially with lower abdominal pain
• Fever, chills, vomiting or pain in the back or side together with urinary symptoms, which can suggest a kidney infection
• Sudden loss of bladder or bowel control with numbness around the genitals or buttocks, or new leg weakness
• Heavy or persistent blood in the urine
• Urinary symptoms in pregnancy with fever, pain or bleeding

Visible blood in the urine without other symptoms should still be checked promptly.

How to choose among the doctors here

If you searched for the best female urology & incontinence specialists in Jabal Amman, keep in mind that this list ranks profiles by completeness, not by skill or outcomes. Use your own situation to choose:

• Urologist or gynaecologist? Dr. Tariq Hussein Yousef and Dr. Rashed Najeh Al-Omari are urologists. Their published services cover incontinence care and urinary infections, as well as stone treatment, which may help if you also have kidney or bladder stones. Dr. Akaber Mahmoud Al Haj Ali and Dr. Jamil Shaaban are obstetrician-gynaecologists offering urogynaecology consultations. That may suit you if your symptoms are linked to pregnancy or childbirth, or if you also need gynaecological care.
• Hours. The two urologists have confirmed weekly hours on their profiles. For the two gynaecologists, confirm the day and time directly when you book.
• Language. Dr. Akaber Mahmoud Al Haj Ali lists Arabic and English, and Dr. Jamil Shaaban lists Arabic, English and German. If language matters for the urologists, ask when booking.
• Insurance. Arab Orient Insurance is listed for Dr. Tariq Hussein Yousef and Dr. Rashed Najeh Al-Omari.
• Comfort. Pelvic symptoms can be personal. If you prefer a female doctor or a female chaperone during the examination, it is reasonable to ask for this when booking.

What to expect at the first visit

The first appointment is usually a conversation followed by an examination, if you agree. The doctor will likely ask when the leakage happens, how often, how much, and what makes it better or worse. You may also be asked about pregnancies and births, menopause, bowel habits, previous surgery and other health conditions.

How to prepare

• Keep a bladder diary for three days. Note what and how much you drink, when you pass urine, any leaks, and what you were doing at the time.
• List your medicines, including supplements, since some can affect the bladder.
• Bring previous results, such as urine tests, cultures, ultrasound reports or earlier specialist letters.
• Come with a comfortable bladder. You may be asked for a urine sample.

Possible checks

Depending on your symptoms, the doctor may suggest a urine test, a physical or pelvic examination, an ultrasound to see how well the bladder empties, or more specialised bladder function tests. Not everyone needs every test.

Questions to ask

• What type of incontinence or bladder problem do I seem to have?
• Which tests do I need, and why?
• What non-surgical options are there, such as pelvic floor exercises or bladder training?
• Will I need referral to a physiotherapist or another specialist?
• When should I come back, and what should prompt an earlier visit?

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

None of the four profiles publishes a consultation fee, so ask the clinic directly what a first visit costs and whether tests are charged separately. Before you go, ask:

• Is my insurance accepted for this doctor and this type of visit? Arab Orient Insurance is listed for the two urologists. For any other insurer, confirm with both the clinic and your insurance company.
• Do I need a referral or pre-approval for the consultation, urine tests or imaging?
• Is a follow-up visit to review results charged as a new consultation?
• Which day and time is available, and at which exact location? This matters most for the two hospital-based gynaecologists, where the biography of Dr. Akaber Mahmoud Al Haj Ali specifically advises confirming the location and time.
• Can I request a female chaperone or a female doctor?

Getting there

All four doctors are listed in Jabal Amman, in Amman governorate. Patients often travel from other parts of the city, such as Abdoun, Shmeisani, Sweifieh, Gardens, Khalda, Tla' Al-Ali, Jubeiha, Dabouq or the 7th Circle area. Check the exact clinic address on each profile and on the map before you set out. Amman traffic can be heavy at peak times, so leave extra time, especially if you have urgency and need to plan toilet stops.

If you need emergency care, call 911 rather than travelling to a clinic. Amman's large hospitals include Jordan University Hospital, King Hussein Medical Center, Al-Bashir Hospital, Specialty Hospital and Istishari Hospital.
