The Pelvic Care and Incontinence Center

Although we don't normally think of this part of the body beyond reproductive years there are a variety of ailments that reduce the quality of life for women as they age, if not appropriately treated. Our highly trained doctors can address problems of urinary leakage and voiding issues, bladder infections, prolapse of the pelvic organs, sexual issues, pelvic pain and lower bowel dysfunction. Even young women, those with neurologic problems and those with issues surrounding childbirth are candidates for evaluation.

The Pelvic Care and Incontinence Center brings together the expertise of specialists from the Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Urology, General Surgery and Gastroenterology Division to address issues involving the Pelvic Floor.

Our team includes fellowship-trained urogynecologists, colorectal surgeons, gastroenterologists, urologists, specialized nurse practitioners and pelvic pain specialists.

Did You Know?

When the tissue that supports the pelvic organs is stretched or damaged the organ (bladder, uterus, rectum, intestine) can press against the wall of the vagina. This can cause a bulge.
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs in 15-30% of women. Childbearing and obesity increase this risk.
Urinary incontinence affects 18 million women, and increases with age.
Bowel incontinence is closely associated with urinary loss.
Testing performed in this center includes subtraction-and-video urodynamics, anal manometry, electrophysical testing and endoanal ultrasonography.
There are a variety of treatment options for urinary incontinence and prolapsed available at our Center. They range from appropriate lifestyle changes to minimally invasive procedures such as pessaries and Botox injections all the way to state-of-the-art surgical interventions.
