What Specific Pelvic Floor Conditions does a Urogynecologist Treat?

A urogynecologist is a subspecialist who focuses on diagnosing and treating various pelvic floor disorders. These conditions often arise after childbirth, during menopause, or due to general aging.

Specific conditions treated include:

• Pelvic Organ Prolapse: This occurs when pelvic organs lack sufficient support, often resulting in a vaginal bulging sensation or persistent pelvic pressure.
• Urinary Incontinence: This involves issues with bladder control and involuntary urinary leakage.
• Fecal Incontinence: A condition involving the involuntary loss of bowel control.
• Voiding Dysfunction: This includes symptoms such as difficulty emptying the bladder.
• Pelvic Health Symptoms: Comprehensive care is also provided for related issues like painful intercourse and other symptoms caused by weakened pelvic support.

Treatment plans for these conditions are personalized and may range from behavioral modifications and pelvic floor therapy to minimally invasive surgical repairs or advanced options like laser and radiofrequency therapy.
