Urogynecology Q & A
What is Urogynecology?
When you have lower abdominal pain, it can be tough to decipher if your pain is caused by menstrual cramps, bladder spasms, a urinary tract infection, or another issue that affects your pelvic organs. A urogynecologist has extensive training in diagnosing and treating all types of disorders that affect this region of your body.
Your urogynecologist has a unique blend of training in gynecology, obstetrics, musculoskeletal disorders, urology, and surgery. This gives you the opportunity to receive comprehensive treatment from a single provider rather than having to visit multiple specialists.
Which Conditions Do Urogynecologists Treat?
The highly regarded urogynecology team at Dr. Javid OB/GYN provides comprehensive care for a wide variety of issues that affect your pelvic organs and connective tissues. Some of the most common conditions urogynecologists treat include:
- Interstitial cystitis

- Urinary incontinence
- Pelvic floor disorders
- Urinary tract or bladder infections
Your dedicated urogynecologist at Dr. Javid OB/GYN sits and talks with you about what you’re experiencing.
