Conditions Treated
Conditions We Specialize In
Involuntary urine leakage during coughing, sneezing, exercise, or with sudden urges. Treatments range from pelvic floor therapy to minimally invasive sling procedures with high success rates.
When the uterus, bladder, or rectum drops from its normal position due to weakened pelvic support. You may feel pressure, heaviness, or a bulging sensation. Both surgical and non-surgical options are available.
Frequent, sudden urges to urinate that are hard to control, sometimes with leakage. This is not a normal part of aging. Medications, nerve stimulation, and behavioral therapies can provide significant relief.
Difficulty controlling bowel movements, which can range from occasional leakage to complete loss of control. This is more common than most people think, and effective treatments exist.
Repeated urinary tract infections (3 or more per year) that may signal an underlying issue. We investigate root causes and develop prevention strategies beyond repeated antibiotics.
Difficulty coordinating the muscles of the pelvic floor, leading to problems with urination, bowel movements, or pelvic pain. Specialized therapy and treatment can retrain these muscles.
The vaginal walls weaken and bulge inward, often after childbirth or menopause. You may notice a feeling of fullness or tissue protruding. Pessaries or surgical repair can restore support.
The bladder drops into the vaginal wall, causing pressure, incomplete emptying, and sometimes incontinence. Severity varies. Mild cases may be managed conservatively, while advanced cases benefit from surgical repair.

Surgery is typically considered when conservative treatments haven’t provided adequate relief, or when prolapse is significantly affecting your quality of life. We’ll discuss all options and help you make the best decision for your situation.
Most urogynecologic procedures are performed minimally invasively, and many patients go home the same day. Your surgeon will discuss the expected recovery timeline for your specific procedure.
