University Hospitals Urology Institute Provides Personalized Care and Innovative Treatment for Pelvic Floor Disorders

For many women, vaginal childbirth, aging and other physical and disease stressors contribute to a significant weakening of the pelvic floor, the muscles and ligaments responsible for keeping pelvic organs in place. Reduced support for organs like the bladder, uterus, vagina, and rectum can interfere with normal body function and can seriously compromise a woman’s quality of life.

UH Urology Institute’s Female Pelvic Medicine & Surgery Center offers a personalized, multidisciplinary approach to help women navigate through the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic floor disorders. The center’s team of highly specialized physicians works collaboratively to restore pelvic form and function in patients, applying some of the most innovative techniques available.

A Collaborative, Multidisciplinary Approach

Pelvic floor disorders include the loss of bladder and bowel control and the prolapse (dropping down) of female pelvic organs. Many patients find these conditions embarrassing or difficult to manage.

The Female Pelvic Medicine & Surgery Center offers a comprehensive, one-stop approach for meeting all pelvic health needs by bringing together the following specialists:

  • Urologists
  • Gynecologists
  • Urogynecologists
  • Colorectal specialists
  • Physical therapists
  • Psychologists

Our high volume of patients places our team among the most experienced in the field of pelvic floor issues, whether a patient is being treated for the first time or seeking relief for a recurrent condition.
