Specialties and Pelvic Health Approach
Urogynecology focuses on disorders involving the pelvic floor, bladder, vagina, uterus, and nearby supporting tissues. An evaluation may include a medical history, pelvic examination, bladder testing, cystoscopy, ultrasound, or urodynamic studies. Treatment depends on the diagnosis, symptom severity, prior procedures, overall health, and the patient’s goals. Options may include behavioral changes, pelvic floor therapy, medication, a pessary, injections, nerve stimulation, or surgery.
