Certified Urogynecologists in Woodstock, GA

Treating Women in Woodstock for Pelvic Problems

One in three women in the U.S. will experience pelvic disorders in their lifetime. These may include pressure, pain during intercourse, frequent urination, an inability to empty the bladder, and urinary or fecal leakage. As of 2013, a woman’s lifetime risk for surgery to correct pelvic organ prolapse or stress urinary incontinence is 20%. Urogynecology is a unique specialty that addresses incontinence in women. It combines expertise in the bladder, uterus, and rectum, as well as the connecting tissue, to address problems that affect the entire pelvis. This knowledge allows physicians at Cherokee Women’s Health to relieve pressure, pain, and embarrassment for many women in Woodstock experiencing pelvic problems.

FPMRS Board-Certification

The American Board of Urology determined that specialization in urogynecology and other pelvic disorders would significantly improve treatment for female patients. After years of extensive screening and research, they developed the first board certification exam in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery. Our esteemed physicians Drs. Litrel, Ghandi, and Haley were among the first to receive board certification in this specialty. They remain among the few certified, private practice urogynecologists in North Georgia. This certification allows them to provide better care, more complete diagnoses, and better outcomes for patients experiencing pelvic disorders. After isolating the problem, our physicians provide each patient with individualized care based on her diagnosis and treatment options. Many surgeries provided are minimally invasive with low postoperative pain and fast recoveries.
