Common Conditions Treated by Urogynecology
Urinary Incontinence.
Many Americans find leaking urine to be a source of embarrassment, yet urinary incontinence affects approximately 13 million people in the country for various reasons. Factors such as age, stress, and infections can significantly impact the strength of your urinary sphincter, leading to challenges in bladder control.
Urge Incontinence
Reflex incontinence, a type of incontinence stemming from an overactive or unstable bladder, leads to sudden and intense urges to urinate. These urges can occur unexpectedly, often giving you only a brief moment to find a restroom before involuntary urination occurs. You might find these urges intensify when changing positions, hearing water, or during intimate moments. Urge incontinence is commonly linked to cystitis, an inflammation of the bladder lining due to bacteria, but can also arise from central nervous system disorders such as Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis
Pelvic Organ Prolapse.
If you're experiencing a sensation as if you're sitting on a ball, pain in your lower belly or pelvic area, discomfort during intimate moments, the need to urinate often, or notice tissue protruding from your vagina, you might be dealing with a condition known as prolapse. This happens when weak muscles and ligaments, which usually keep your pelvic organs in place, become strained due to factors like aging, lifting heavy objects, obesity, pregnancy, childbirth, a chronic cough, or chronic constipation, leading these organs to bulge into your vagina. Fortunately, prolapse can be addressed through various surgical and non-surgical treatments, providing relief and improving your quality of life.
Stress incontinence.
Experiencing a urine leak during moments when your bladder is under pressure is a common issue. Activities like coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or lifting can trigger these leaks. The underlying cause is often weakened pelvic floor muscles, which can result from a variety of factors including pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, undergoing a hysterectomy or other types of surgical procedures, as well as aging or obesity. Strengthening these muscles is key to reducing the incidents of leakage.
Fecal incontinence.
Losing control over bowel movements can deeply affect your self-esteem, impacting the joy in social gatherings with family and friends, as well as your engagement in favorite hobbies. If you experience unexpected leakage of fecal matter, whether it's a minor amount or a complete loss of control, it might be due to several reasons such as diarrhea, chronic constipation, weakened muscles, or nerve damage. The control of your bowel is governed by muscular rings at the rectum's end, with nerves that signal the need to use the bathroom and help manage the anal sphincter. Factors like aging, childbirth, spinal cord injuries, strokes, or consistent straining during bowel movements can lead to damage of these muscles and nerves, challenging your ability to maintain control.
Intestinal
Cystitis.
Bladder Pain Syndrome, also known as interstitial cystitis, leads to discomfort and pain in the bladder and the surrounding pelvic area, coupled with an urgent and frequent need to urinate. The discomfort often intensifies as the bladder fills with urine or during the process of emptying, as well as during menstrual periods or sexual activity. While the exact cause of Bladder Pain Syndrome remains unclear, there are effective treatments available that can alleviate symptoms. These include medications, electrical nerve stimulation, and other non-surgical methods. For those who have not found relief from these approaches, surgery may be considered as a further option.
Surgical Mesh Complications.
Medical-grade mesh is often utilized to mend weakened tissues responsible for pelvic organ prolapse. By reinforcing the vaginal wall and supporting the urethra, surgical mesh plays a crucial role in preventing urine leakage. However, complications such as pain, infection, bleeding, urinary issues, and difficulties during sexual activities can sometimes arise. Our team specializes in correcting these complications, enabling you to resume your active lifestyle without discomfort.
Hormonal Replacement
Hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is a key part of care in urogynecology for women going through menopause or who have had their ovaries removed. It helps ease symptoms by adding estrogen and sometimes progesterone to the body. HRT can make life better by reducing hot flashes, stopping bone loss, and helping with vaginal dryness and the urge to urinate often. Each treatment is customized to fit the patient's health and needs, making sure it's safe and effective.

Suppose you have symptoms like an overactive bladder, urine leakage, frequent or painful urinary tract infections, or feel pain, pressure, or a bulge in your vagina. In that case, your doctor might suggest seeing a urogynecologist.
