Urogynecology Nonsurgical & Surgical Treatment
Once you and your urogynecology care team complete your extensive diagnostic
assessment, you’ll work together to determine the best treatment
options for your particular circumstances.
Urogynecology Nonsurgical Services
Nonsurgical options for urogynecology care may include:
Sacral neuromodulation for certain bladder and bowel disorders
Urethral bulking

Surgical services may help when pelvic symptoms continue to interfere with
your daily activities. Advances in surgical technology mean most procedures use
minimally invasive procedures, with laparoscopic or vaginal techniques or some combination, that allow
same-day surgery with small incisions and minimal pain and recovery.
