Urogynecology

Women’s Pelvic Floor & Urogynecology Care

At Virginia Urology Women’s Health, we specialize in treating conditions that many women silently struggle with – like bladder leakage, pelvic pain, and prolapse.

These issues are common. They are treatable, and you don’t have to live with them. 

You Are Not Alone

Many women wait years before seeking help for pelvic floor symptoms due to embarrassment or uncertainty.

If you’ve experienced:

• Leakage when you cough, laugh, or exercise
• A constant urge to urinate
• Pelvic pressure or bulging
• Pain or discomfort

You are not alone – and effective treatment is available.

What is a Urogynecologist? 

A urogynecologist is a physician with advanced training in both urology and gynecology, specializing in pelvic floor disorders.

They complete additional fellowship training in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery and treat complex conditions involving the bladder, pelvic organs, and surrounding structures. 

Urogynecologist vs. Gynecologist: What’s the Difference?

Gynecologist:

• Focuses on reproductive health (periods, pregnancy, menopause)
• May treat mild bladder symptoms

Urogynecologist:

• Specializes in pelvic floor and bladder disorders
• Treats complex conditions like:
  • Incontinence
  • Prolapse
  • Chronic bladder symptoms
• Offers advanced, non-surgical and surgical treatments

*If your symptoms involve bladder control, pelvic pressure, or ongoing issues, a urogynecologist is often the best next step. 

What is Pelvic Floor Dysfunction? 

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and connective tissues that support the bladder, uterus, and bowel.

When these muscles weaken or don’t function properly, it can lead to:

• Urinary incontinence
• Overactive bladder (OAB)
• Pelvic organ prolapse
• Bowel control issues
• Pelvic pain

These conditions can significantly impact your quality of life, but they are highly treatable.

• Urinary incontinence (leakage)
• Overactive bladder (urgency, frequency)
