Urogynecology

This subspecialty of ob/gyn focuses on the health of a woman’s pelvic floor. The pelvic floor includes the system of muscles and nerves and connective tissue that support the organs in a woman’s lower abdomen and pelvis, including the bladder, digestive system, and reproductive system. These muscles and nerves can be damaged due to age, childbirth, repeated heavy lifting, or previous surgery and procedures. The damage to the pelvic floor can often be treated with surgical or other procedures to help women get back to feeling their best.
