Regaining Control
Hundreds of thousands of women suffer from severe pain or embarrassment caused by disorders of the pelvic floor and reproductive organs. It doesn’t have to be this way. Geisinger’s multidisciplinary team of female and male urogynecologists (the subspecialty of urology and gynecology together) are fellowship trained to provide the most sophisticated treatment. This includes using highly detailed diagnostic tests and new, minimally invasive surgical techniques whenever possible.
Among the problems we treat are:
- Incontinence (bladder leakage)
- General pains in the pelvic region
- Painful sexual intercourse
- Urinary tract infections and interstitial cystitis
- Pelvic organ prolapse – bulging in pelvic area when the bladder or other organ begins to sag
Q&A—Bladder Control
Do you:
- Have to get up at night to go to the bathroom multiple times?
- Leak urine when you laugh too hard?
- Feel a sudden urge to go even though you just urinated?
- Have urine leak when you exercise or sneeze?
- Feel embarrassed or worried about any of the above?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may have a pelvic floor disorder called incontinence. Geisinger’s urogynecology specialists have great experience in treating these types of conditions, so you can relax and feel more confident.
