What is a Urogynecologist?

Doctors who receive special treatment to treat and diagnose women with pelvic floor disorders are known as urogynecologists or urogyns as well. They complete a residency or medical school in urology, gynecology, or obstetrics.

Urogynecologists are specialists who have additional training and experience to treat the conditions that affect the female pelvic organs. These conditions can be along with the connective tissue and muscles that support the female pelvic organs.

Not all urogynecologists complete formal fellowship. It mainly deals with the surgical and non-surgical treatments of problems that are non-cancerous. Some of the common problems treated by urogynecologist are:

  • Pelvic organ prolapsed
  • Urinary incontinence or leakage
  • Overactive bladder

      After completing the studies and securing a degree in gynecology, the aspiring candidates undertake a fellowship. It lasts for at least three years. Treatments for incontinence, surgical procedures for restoring and reconstructing the pelvic floor, and other matters that have relation to pelvic organs are performed as well.

        What to Expect at Your First Urogynecology Appointment?

        During your appointment, you’ll likely undergo an examination while lying on a standard table in the dorsal (lying down) position. Here’s what the process involves:

        1. Physical Assessment: You may be asked to cough or squeeze your pelvic muscles to evaluate pelvic organ prolapse or urinary leakage.
          • Vaginal Examination: The doctor may examine the uterus and surrounding tissues to assess their condition.
            • Diagnostic Procedures: A colposcopic examination may be conducted to check for abnormalities in vaginal or cervical tissues. If required, a Pap smear will be performed.
              • Ultrasound Evaluation: A basic ultrasound will help determine bladder function by measuring urine retention before and after urination. 

              Is there any special ultrasound needed for urogynecology?

              Absolutely YES. Because our detailed ultrasound using a high-frequency probe allows us to study the defects, in the end, pelvic and its fascia, this is particularly important in cases of a patient having recurrent prolapse. 

              For women facing pelvic health challenges, a dedicated urogynecologist like Dr. Jay Mehta can make a world of difference. Our clinic, Shree IVF & Endometriosis Clinic Mumbai, is a referral unit for advanced pelvic surgeries, and we’re proud of the positive results our patients report. Their kind words inspire our commitment to excellence. However, be cautious of support groups that may offer misleading advice—choose professional medical guidance for your health needs.

              Documents to Bring for Your Urogynecology Consultation

              To prepare for your Urogynecology appointment, please gather the following details: 

              • Urination Records: Note how often you pass urine, especially if you experience frequent or urgent urination. This information helps assess patterns and potential problems.
              • List of Medications: Bring a list of your current medications. This is especially important for diabetic patients, as Type 2 diabetes is a leading cause of bladder issues in women.
              • Weight Information: Know your current weight, as obesity is a treatable factor associated with bladder problems. 
              • Delivery History: Provide details regarding any previous vaginal deliveries or trauma, keeping in mind that such instances are rare today due to higher cesarean section rates.
              • Investigations and Test Reports: Bring records of any prior medical investigations, particularly a Urodynamic Study (UDS), which helps evaluate bladder function and conditions like detrusor instability and mixed urine incontinence.
              • MRI Reports: If you have had an MRI for bowel or defecation issues, make sure to bring those results, especially if you had an MRI Defecogram, which may not be comfortable but holds valuable diagnostic information.
              • Surgical History: Discuss any prior surgeries, such as vaginal hysterectomy with posterior and anterior colporrhaphy, noting that results vary greatly with the surgeon’s skill and may influence recurrence rates of vaginal prolapse.

              I am incredibly grateful for Dr. Jay's exceptional support throughout my IVF journey. Dr Jay has been like God sent an Angel for us. From our very first meeting, it was clear that Dr. Jay was not only a highly skilled and knowledgeable professional but also someone who genuinely cared about my well-being.

              From my first meeting, he was very clear transparent, and straightforward about my protocol, treatment line, and success rate. After two difficult IVF cycles that failed, I was beginning to lose hope.

              However, Dr. Jay’s unwavering encouragement and meticulous care helped me stay positive and focused. Thanks to God and of course to his expertise and dedication, WE FINALLY ACHIEVED SUCCESS!!!!!

              Krish A

              Dr Jay Mehta is the best Fertility doctor. I am glad to have IVF done with Jay sir.

              This unit is very ethical and very honest at work. In my previous IVF cycle, I did not have embryos in Chennai. I was here and Dr and team had told me not to worry. I was given end to end transparency about my embryos and I was lucky to become pregnant in the 1st cycle here, though I was told that the success rate will be about 25 to 30%.

              IVF space is competitive, but these guys don't do any Ads on Google. And still if you search, Dr Jay is ranked no.1. I was extremely impressed with that and I am happy that I took a call to travel to Mumbai from Chennai.

              I am thankful to the entire team for handling my case nicely. And May God shower the team with his choicest blessings.
