Uro-gynecology is a subspecialty of gynecology that focuses on diagnosing and treating pelvic floor disorders, including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and bladder dysfunction in women.

• Urinary incontinence (loss of bladder control)
• Pelvic organ prolapse (when pelvic organs drop due to weak muscles)
• Overactive bladder (frequent urge to urinate)
• Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
• Painful bladder syndrome (interstitial cystitis)

Treatment varies depending on the condition and may include:

• Lifestyle changes: Weight management, pelvic floor exercises (Kegels)
• Medications: To control bladder function
• Pessary devices: For prolapse support
• Minimally invasive surgery: Sling procedures, prolapse repair, or bladder botox injections

Women who have had multiple pregnancies, vaginal deliveries, menopause, aging, obesity, or chronic constipation are at higher risk of pelvic floor disorders.

Yes, maintaining a healthy weight, doing pelvic floor exercises, avoiding chronic straining, and managing menopause-related hormonal changes can help prevent these conditions.
