Lurogynecologie

Lurogynecologie is a term with limited recognition in mainstream medical literature and is often described as a neologism or a misspelling of urogynecology. When used, it is typically presented as a multidisciplinary field focused on conditions affecting the female pelvic floor, urinary function, and reproductive health, with attention to how these domains interact.

The etymology of lurogynecologie is unclear; the prefix "luro-" has no standard meaning in medical terminology, and there is no widely accepted definition or scope for the term. As a result, its use and boundaries are not standardized. In contexts where it appears, proponents may intend to encompass elements of gynecology, urology, pelvic floor medicine, and related rehabilitation disciplines.

In practice, Lurogynecologie would be closely related to established fields such as urogynecology, female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, pelvic floor physical therapy, and gynecologic urology. The term is generally not used as a replacement for these areas but as an alternative label by some authors or organizations.

Training and research related to Lurogynecologie are not standardized, and there are no universally accepted guidelines or curricula specific to this term. Where the term appears, it is usually within discussions about multidisciplinary evaluation and management of pelvic floor disorders, including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and sexual function. Clinicians typically rely on established evidence and practices from urogynecology and related specialties.
