Urogynecology

Urogynecology is a subspecialty involving the diagnosis, management and treatment of pelvic floor disorders in women.

About a quarter of all women experience pelvic floor disorders, including:

• Urinary incontinence (Leakage of urine when coughing, laughing or sneezing)
• Overactive bladder (Spasms causing leakage with the urge to urinate)
• Bowel control disorders (Fecal incontinence or constipation)
• Pelvic organ prolapse (Pelvic organs descend into or out of the vagina when connective tissue of the pelvic floor loses strength and elasticity)

Premier Women’s Care of Southwest Florida offers a full-spectrum pelvic floor center for women’s urogynecologic needs. Dr. Cathy Dahl, who is board certified in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery, has brought her years of urogynecology experience to the practice, adding to the extensive surgical experience of Dr. Blaise Kovaz, an expert in the treatment of pelvic prolapse.
