Urogünekoloogias

Urogünekoloogias, also known as female urology or urogynecology, is a subspecialty of obstetrics and gynecology that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the female pelvic floor. These conditions often involve the bladder, uterus, vagina, rectum, and surrounding muscles and nerves.

Common issues addressed by urogünekoloogias include urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse (where pelvic organs descend into or outside of the vagina), and pelvic pain. These conditions can significantly impact a woman's quality of life, affecting her physical comfort, social activities, and emotional well-being.

The specialty involves a multidisciplinary approach, often collaborating with other specialists such as colorectal surgeons, physical therapists, and radiologists. Diagnosis typically involves a thorough medical history, physical examination, and may include urodynamic studies to assess bladder function, imaging tests like ultrasound or MRI, and cystoscopy to visualize the bladder and urethra.

Treatment options vary depending on the specific condition and its severity. They can range from conservative measures like lifestyle modifications, pelvic floor muscle exercises (Kegels), and behavioral therapies, to more invasive interventions such as pessary fitting for prolapse, minimally invasive surgery to repair prolapse or correct incontinence, and medication. Urogünekoloogias aims to restore function and improve the quality of life for women experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction.
