Urogynecology is a specialty within OB-GYN that focuses on treating pelvic floor disorders with gynecologic therapies and surgery. Urogynecologists complete medical school, a four-year OB/GYN residency and a three-year fellowship in women's pelvic health and reconstructive surgery. Meet the urogynecology team.
Pelvic floor disorders develop when the pelvic floor (muscles and connective tissues) don't work as well as they should. Connective tissues include ligaments, membranes and other tissues that support pelvic organs. In women, the pelvic organs include the bladder, vagina, uterus, small intestine and rectum (lower part of the large intestine).
