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.

Dr. Jamshid Tehrany is our expert Urogynecologist and is currently accepting new patients.

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 Garden 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 Garden OB/GYN sits and talks with you about what you’re experiencing. They may perform a pelvic exam, run some labs, or even order an in-office ultrasound to diagnose you. Once your urogynecology specialist better understands what’s triggering your symptoms, they talk with you about all of your treatment options.
