What is a Urogynaecologist?

Do you feel that you go to the bathroom very frequently or urgently and can’t make it there quickly enough? Or perhaps, you may experience urinary leakage when you are doing exercises or exerting yourself? Do you feel pressure in your pelvis or feel like there is a bulge in your vagina? These are the conditions that a urogynaecologist can treat.

Urogynecologists are trained obstetricians/gynaecologists who have extra training in evaluating and treating patients with pelvic floor dysfunction. These conditions encompass urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, bladder pain, frequent urinary tract infections, pelvic pain and childbirth-related pelvic floor muscle trauma. In essence, Urogynecologists are experts in this area of women’s health.
