Female Pelvic Medicine
Virtua Health urogynecologists provide expert treatment for pelvic floor disorders like prolapse and urinary incontinence.
Pelvic pain and incontinence aren't something you need to “put up with.” Virtua urogynecologists are experts in treating pelvic floor disorders so that you can live without discomfort, inconvenience, or embarrassment.
Our Approach to Female Pelvic Medicine
No matter your age, you may face urinary incontinence, pain during sex, or age- or pregnancy-related changes in your pelvic floor.
Pelvic floor disorders affect almost half of all women during their lives. This happens because the muscles in your pelvic floor can weaken or become overactive due to many factors, including pregnancy, intense exercise, or even injuries.
Common symptoms include:
- A frequent or urgent need to pee
- Pelvic organ prolapse (when the vagina, uterus, bladder, or rectum shifts out of normal position)
- Bladder leaks
- Pain when going to the bathroom
- Vaginal dryness or irritation
- Heaviness in your pelvic area
- Painful or uncomfortable sex
- Frequent urinary tract or bladder infections
If you’re experiencing these symptoms, your gynecologist, midwife, or primary care provider may refer you to a Virtua Health urogynecologist. A urogynecologist specializes in treating pelvic floor disorders using non-surgical and surgical treatments.
Why you shouldn’t wait to seek treatment for a pelvic floor disorder
Pelvic floor disorders don’t have to be a normal part of aging or something you tolerate. If you’re feeling any of the symptoms above, our urogynecologists encourage you to make an appointment for evaluation and treatment.
Our specialists understand that you may be uncomfortable or embarrassed talking about what you’re experiencing. But, we provide a safe, comfortable environment so you feel at ease sharing your concerns.
We offer sophisticated testing and treatment, often recommending conservative treatments, such as lifestyle or behavioral changes, medications, physical therapy, injections, or removable support devices.
We also provide minimally invasive pelvic floor reconstructive surgery if you have a pelvic floor disorder that doesn’t respond to these therapies.
Our team will treat you with dignity and compassion, focusing on relieving your symptoms and returning you to living without the frustration of a pelvic floor disorder.
