RETURNING WOMEN TO BETTER HEALTH
Approximately 1/3 of women in the United States will be affected by a pelvic floor disorder during their lifetime. Often related to both genetics and/or the birth of a child, the muscles of the pelvic floor are weakened or stretched. These now weakened muscles may cause discomfort in the pelvis or abdomen and/or issues with urinary tract, including infections or incontinence.
Pelvic Floor Disorders are treatable with a variety of options and, depending on the issue, may include surgical options including Pelvic Floor Reconstruction. Our talented team of urogynecology specialists can provide women suffering from issues of pelvic floor with relief from discomfort and improved quality of life. Using a variety of approaches, some of which include minimally invasive or robotic surgery techniques, our surgeons can successfully return our patients to health.
