Urogynecology in Birmingham

Urogynecology Specialists in Birmingham, AL

Cherokee Women’s Health has a team of surgeons board certified in urogynecology and Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery. In the past, any woman suffering from problems in the bladder, uterus, or rectum had to seek a specialist in that field. However the female pelvic floor shares the same connective tissue, nerves, and blood supply. It’s impossible to treat one area without affecting the others. That’s where the specialty of urogynecology originated: training physicians and surgeons to treat not just one aspect of the female pelvic floor, but the whole.

FPMRS Surgeons in Birmingham

Women in Birmingham suffer a variety of pelvic disorders. Common problems include frequent urination, inability to empty the bladder, pelvic pressure, pain during intercourse, pelvic organ prolapse, and urinary or fecal leakage. These female pelvic disorders can cause pain, embarrassment, and upsets to daily life. And they will affect one in three women in their lifetime. Board certified FPMRS physicians go through rigorous training to treat these disorders quickly, completely, and with less need for invasive surgery. Specialists have higher success rates in pelvic surgeries and better results overall. Because they treat organ prolapse, incontinence, and constipation issues on a regular basis, they have greater skill and experience than surgeons without FPMRS board certification, who perform these procedures infrequently. A urogynecologist gives patients confidence in a quick and safe recovery.

Female pelvic disorders are a normal part of aging. Women who take an active role in identifying these disorders will find a variety of care options to help restore their quality of life. To find urogynecologists near Birmingham, call Cherokee Women’s Health.
