Urogynecology, which is also known as female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, is the medical subspecialty exclusively dedicated to the treatment of women with pelvic floor disorders.
Pelvic floor disorders are conditions that frequently develop in women as they age; they’re particularly more common after menopause.
Symptoms include:
- Leakage of urine (incontinence)
- Frequent or urgent desire to urinate.
- Pelvic organ prolapse (commonly known as “dropped bladder”), which manifests as feeling a protrusion or bulge through the vaginal opening.
- Even though these conditions aren’t life-threatening, they significantly interfere with a woman’s quality of life. Many treatment options are available, including non-surgical ones.
- At The Medical Group of NJ, our urogynecology program takes an individualized approach to patient care. Pelvic floor disorders are incredibly personal and can sometimes be difficult for patients to discuss.
That’s why our program believes it is crucial to consider your personal preferences when making treatment decisions. Our urogynecologist discusses the treatment options that best suit your clinical and personal needs.
