UROGYNECOLOGISTS

What is a Urogynecologist?
Urogynecologist have completed their required four-year gynecologic residency. Following this training, they complete three additional years of specialized training, called a fellowship, in the evaluation and treatment of female urinary incontinence(urine loss) and pelvic floor disorders, such as dropped bladders and fallen vaginas and wombs. Through this extra training these physicians have developed additional expertise in the evaluation and treatment of conditions that affect a women's bladder or pelvis.

When should I see a urogynecologist?
Although your primary care physician and or general gynecologist may have some knowledge about these problems, a urogynecologist may be able to offer additional expertise. Specialized diagnostic tests may be needed for a complete and accurate diagnosis. These tests may include evaluation of your bladder function and vaginal support.

What treatment options are available from a urogynecologist?
Treatment options can include a variety of non-surgical therapies, designed to relieve symptoms. If surgery is recommended, a discussion of surgical options and alternatives may be appropriate.

Conditions commonly referred for evaluation to the urogynecologist:

Stress Incontinence (Urine loss with cough, sneeze or laugh)
Urge Incontinence (Urine loss before reaching the bathroom)
Mixed Incontinence (Stress and urge incontinence combined)
Interstitial Cystitis (Painful bladder syndrome)
Urinary Retention (Problems emptying the bladder)
Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections
Pelvic prolapse (fallen bladder, vagina, or womb)
Pelvic Pain (Menstrual pain, bladder pain)
Hematuria (Blood in the urine)

Urinary incontinence needn't take over your life. It is almost always treatable, and often completely curable. Working as a team, you and your doctor can put you back in control of your bladder and your life. If you have questions about urinary incontinence, please call our office to set up consultation.

We will be constantly updating and adding new features, so be sure to visit this site often. Thank you for choosing Northeast Ohio Urogynecology and Continence Center and Dr. Devine as your health care partners!
