What services are provided by a urogynecologist?
Below are a few of the treatments and services provided by the urogynecologists at Premier OB/GYN in Bradenton, Florida:
- Female incontinence – many women deal with incontinence, which causes leaking of the bladder or rectum. These conditions can be embarrassing, but with proper diagnosis and treatments, many women rebuild their self-confidence.
- Pelvic prolapse – pelvic floor disorders and prolapse of the organs cause a variety of issues that may lead a woman to seek diagnosis and treatment.
- Urodynamic testing – urodynamic testing is a method of looking at the bladder and urethra to determine the ability for them to store and release urine. This is done to determine if a patient has urinary incontinence and, if so, how severe it is.
- Pelvic floor therapies – physical therapy and other options are available for patients who have pelvic floor disorders. With a proper evaluation and diagnosis, women will often be able to find a treatment that works for them.
- Bladder slings – bladder slings can be used with certain varieties of urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. Discussing this treatment with a urogynecologist is a great way to learn more about bladder slings and determine if it is right for you.
A patient may be referred to a urogynecologist if they are experiencing incontinence or pelvic floor disorders to ensure women have access to a specialist that offers added expertise in this area of care.
