Health Resources
Many women aren’t aware that uncomfortable and limiting urogynecological conditions are usually fully treatable. You should seek help if you leak urine when you run, jump, cough, or sneeze, you may have a treatable condition called stress urinary incontinence.
Overactive bladder is when a woman experiences urinary urgency and frequency. This may be associated with leakage as well. An overactive bladder can lead to avoidance of healthy activities like exercise and social gatherings. It also can be expensive due to incontinence pad use and laundry needs. We can improve most leakage. If you have specific questions about urinary incontinence, contact us. Our urogynecology specialists and friendly staff can assist you.
As surgery has become more advanced, surgical incisions have become smaller and smaller. A smaller abdominal incision is associated with less pain. We perform minimally invasive surgeries with the aid of a Da Vinci robot. This allows us to use several small incisions rather than one large incision. This type of surgery is associated with less pain, a shorter recovery and healing period as well as less blood loss and scarring.
Vaginal surgery is done through a vaginal incision. With this type of surgery, there is no incision on the abdomen. It is a less painful surgical route. Surgeries for pelvic organ prolapse, hysterectomies, and incontinence procedures (with or without mesh) can all be done through a vaginal incision.
There is no universal “best” treatment option. We work to help you pick the treatment that suits you best. We will work to help you identify your treatment goals and work towards those goals together.
Mesh has been used in surgery for decades. How the mesh is placed and where the mesh is used, as well as the specific type of mesh, impacts the complication rate. All mesh is associated with an erosion rate but this rate is usually quite low (around 5%). A mesh sling surgery is currently considered to be the gold standard surgery. Mesh placed to treat prolapse through an abdominal incision or robotically has a low complication rate. See more information on voicesforpfd.org.
