Care for Female Pelvic Floor Disorders at Main Line Health
Many
women are surprised to learn that female pelvic floor disorders such as
urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and anal incontinence are
common and can occur in women of all ages. In fact, female pelvic floor
disorders can affect up to half of adult women.
Urogynecology is a sub-specialty of obstetrics and gynecology that deals
with the diagnosis and management of female pelvic floor disorders. A
urogynecologist is a medical doctor who has first completed a four year
residency training in obstetrics and gynecology, and then has additional
training in neuro-urologic testing, and reconstructive pelvic surgery.
Specialists in this field have developed expertise in the diagnosis and
treatment of bladder and prolapse related symptoms. In
addition, our doctors have significant experience in surgical and
non-surgical management of these conditions including pelvic floor
rehabilitation and behavioral therapy.
Care for Female Pelvic Floor Disorders at Main Line Health is one of the
