What Are Some Services Available Within Urogynecology?

Urogynecology is an area of women’s health practice that focuses on pelvic floor health. Your pelvic floor consists of reproductive organs like your uterus and cervix, as well as your bladder and rectum.

A number of different health conditions can cause issues with normal urinary function. Pelvic organ prolapse is one of the most common. This occurs when problems develop with the connective tissues that keep your uterus, bladder, and other pelvic organs in place. This causes those organs to drop down into new positions, which often creates pressure on your bladder.

Pregnancy, menopause, and a number of other issues can also lead to urogynecology concerns.

What Are Some Signs I Might Need Urogynecology Services?

Knowing what to look for can help you make an informed decision about when to seek urogynecology care. Some signs that it might be time to book a diagnostic exam include:

Frequent, recurring loss of bladder control
Leaking urine with no clear cause
Pressure in your lower abdomen
Unusual full feeling in your lower abdomen
Pelvic pain
Recurring urinary tract infection

You know your body, and you know when something is just not right. Don’t hesitate to come in for diagnostic services if you are concerned about any aspect of your reproductive or urinary function.

How Can Treatment Help Address Urogynecology Issues?

There are a number of ways to treat urogynecology issues. Dr. Moolamalla prefers to take a conservative approach when possible, but if surgical intervention is the best path forward, he offers state-of-the-art robotic and minimally invasive surgical solutions.

For example, correcting pelvic organ prolapse involves using slim surgical tools to lift prolapsed organs back into proper position and secure them in place. Bladder health issues can be addressed through surgery or nonsurgical treatments, including light-based therapies.

A thorough diagnostic work-up is the first step. Come in and share the details of your experience with urinary or reproductive health issues. You’ll discuss diagnostic and treatment options, including timelines, the recovery process, and what to expect if you choose to forgo treatment.
