Urogynecology
Urogynecology is a medical specialty that focuses on diagnosing and treating pelvic floor disorders in women. This includes issues related to urinary control, pelvic pain, and organ prolapse, where pelvic organs drop due to weakened support tissues. Urogynecologists, who are trained both in obstetrics/gynecology and urology, utilize various treatment options ranging from lifestyle changes and physical therapy to medications and surgical procedures. Their goal is to improve quality of life by addressing symptoms that can significantly impact daily activities and overall well-being.
