Urogynecology is a subspecialty within obstetrics and gynecology. It is dedicated to the study and treatment of urinary incontinence and pelvic floor disorders in women. Urinary tract problems and voiding difficulties can be caused by many conditions, including muscle weakness, infections, hormone imbalances, or neurological disorders.
What is Incontinence?
When you are not able to hold your urine until you can get to a bathroom, you have urinary incontinence (loss of bladder control). Incontinence is often a temporary problem, and it is always caused by an underlying medical condition.
What is Pelvic Health?
The symptoms that women experience in their pelvic or abdominal areas are often rooted in complex problems that can be challenging to diagnose and difficult to treat. Our multidisciplinary team will help to diagnose and treat these problems to return you to a state of pelvic health.
