Urogynecology

Urogynecology is a specialized field of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic floor disorders in women. These disorders commonly include urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and fecal incontinence. Urogynecologists are trained to address a wide range of conditions affecting the pelvic region, which can result from childbirth, aging, or other factors. They employ various diagnostic techniques such as pelvic examinations, urodynamic testing, and imaging studies to assess pelvic floor function and structure. Treatment options may include pelvic floor exercises, medications, minimally invasive procedures, or surgery, depending on the severity of the condition. Urogynecology plays a crucial role in improving the quality of life for women experiencing pelvic floor disorders, providing comprehensive care tailored to individual needs.
