Pelvic Floor and Urogynecologic Disorders
The specialists of the UAB Division of Urogynecology and Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery provide professional and sensitive care for women with incontinence and other pelvic floor disorders.
Half of all women are likely to experience some incontinence in their lifetime, and about 10 percent will have surgery for incontinence and/or prolapse—a bulging of the bladder or vagina often caused by weakened muscles from pregnancy or childbirth. Fortunately, most incontinence problems can be successfully treated.
Our physicians offer a full spectrum of one-on-one services for patients, including:
- Botox therapy for refractory urge urinary incontinence.
- Comprehensive clinical evaluation
- Evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of urge urinary incontinence and overactive bladder, stress urinary incontinence, bowel incontinence, uterine prolapse and other pelvic relaxation problems
- Office fitting and placement of vaginal support device (pessary) for prolapse and stress urinary incontinence
- Surgery for pelvic organ prolapse and stress incontinence including new minimally invasive vaginal, laparoscopic, and robotic approaches
- Neurostimulation therapy for refractory urge urinary incontinence, bowel incontinence and voiding dysfunction
