Urogynecology is a specialized field within gynecology that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic floor disorders in women. This subspecialty combines elements of urology and gynecology to address conditions that affect the pelvic organs and structures, particularly those related to the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support the bladder, uterus, and rectum.
Urogynecologists are board-certified physicians who have completed a 4-year residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology, followed by an additional 3-year fellowship training specifically in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery. This extended training equips them with expertise in managing a variety of pelvic floor issues.
Symptoms treated include:
Pelvic floor disorders can arise from various causes, including factors like childbirth, aging, obesity, and chronic constipation. Other contributors include genetic predisposition, neurological disorders, and high-impact activities, all of which may impact the pelvic floor muscles and function.
Seek help if you experience persistent symptoms like pelvic pain or disruptions in bladder and bowel habits. After childbirth, address issues such as urinary incontinence. During menopause, consult for new or worsening pelvic symptoms. If pelvic floor problems impact your quality of life, relationships, or work, seek professional assistance. Post-surgery concerns or discomfort after high-impact events also warrant attention. If you have general concerns about pelvic health or want preventive measures, consult with a healthcare professional.
Remember, seeking help early can lead to more effective and less invasive interventions. If you have any doubts or questions about your pelvic floor health, don’t hesitate to reach out to a healthcare professional or a urogynecologist.
