What is Urogynecology?

Urogynecology is a subspecialty of obstetrics and gynecology focused on the health of a woman’s pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, nerves, and connective tissue that support your bladder, uterus, vagina, and rectum.

Over time, these supports can weaken or become damaged due to:

  • Childbirth
  • Aging
  • Menopause
  • Heavy lifting or straining
  • Previous surgeries

This can lead to conditions such as incontinence or prolapse, but effective treatments are available.

We believe knowledge is empowering. OMC offers resources to help you understand your pelvic health, treatment options, and recovery.
