Urogynecology / Female Pelvic Health

Pelvic floor therapy:

Pelvic floor therapy consists of visits to a physical therapist with specialized training in pelvic floor disorders. To treat voiding dysfunction, these specialized physical therapists utilize a combination of various techniques to re-educate the nerves and muscles that control the urethra.

Intermittent self-catheterization:

Intermittent self-catheterization involves regularly inserting a catheter into your urethra in order to empty the bladder more completely. This is an option if urinary retention is present.

Symptoms of voiding dysfunction include difficulty emptying the bladder, urinary hesitancy, slow or weak urine stream, urinary urgency, urinary frequency and dribbling urine after urination is complete.
