Urogynecology Specialists near Chattanooga

One in three women experience pelvic disorders in their lifetime, but the majority of women in Chattanooga believe this pain, discomfort, and embarrassment to be a normal part of the aging process. Female pelvic disorders often go untreated, or may be mistreated by a physician who is not specialized in the complex, interwoven system of the pelvic floor. Unlike gynecologists, urologists, and colorectal surgeons, urogynecologists are trained to treat the entire pelvic floor, giving them unique knowledge that helps them treat women with pelvic problems more effectively.

Urogynecology is a subspecialty that focuses on female pelvic disorders like urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, fecal incontinence, constipation, and pelvic pain. The pelvic floor is connected by the same tissue, nerves, and blood supply, and what affects one area of the pelvis often affects others as well. Instead of sending patients to a variety of specialists for bladder, uterine, and rectal issues, they can visit a physician who is trained in all three. Urogynecology specialists are knowledgeable and experienced in treating disorders that affect the entire pelvic floor.
