Section of Urogynecology and Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery
Urogynecologists specialize in treating problems related to women's urinary and reproductive tracts, especially urinary incontinence and pelvic relaxation. These common yet physically and emotionally disturbing conditions are often not reported during patients' visits to their physicians. Many believe that urinary incontinence is a natural and irreversible result of childbearing, or due to aging. However, most women who experience incontinence or prolapse can be treated successfully with nonsurgical therapy or corrective surgery.
Urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and other specialized problems actually have many therapeutic options that include medications, behavioral therapy, pelvic muscle re-education, specialized devices, and different surgical options.
