Urogynecology

Urogynecology is a sub-specialty within gynecology and urology that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic floor disorders in women. The pelvic floor is a set of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues in the lower abdominal area that supports the woman's internal organs, including the bowel, bladder, uterus, vagina, and rectum.
 
Pelvic floor disorders can occur when women have "prolapse," or a dropping of the pelvic organs caused by the loss of normal support in the pelvic floor. These disorders can also cause urinary or fecal incontinence, and complications in the bladder and rectum. Other conditions treated in urogynecology include congenital anomalies of the lower urinary tract and vagina, fistulas, and urinary tract infections.
