Institute for Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery - North Wales

Specialties: Urogynecology, Behavioral Health Support

If you suffer from urinary incontinence (loss of bladder control) or pelvic organ prolapse, you are not alone. This problem occurs in women of all ages. Sadly, many women try to hide the problem and limit their lives because they are not aware that urinary incontinence and prolapse can be treated very effectively.

Most often, incontinence is not an isolated problem but an interconnected one. Loss of bladder or bowel control or prolapse (“dropping”) of the uterus or other pelvic organs tend to occur in clusters and affect each other. Many women experience pelvic pressure, fullness or a bulging sensation within the vagina due to pelvic organ prolapse. In fact, the term “dropped” is misleading, as the true problem is a defect in vaginal support.

During the past decade, women have benefited from a subspecialty of obstetrics and gynecology called urogynecology. The subspecialty was recently renamed female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery to more accurately describe the scope of diagnosis and treatment of female pelvic support disorders. The subspecialist evaluates all the structures and systems of the female pelvis, including organs, nerves, ligaments, muscles and blood vessels.

The result is a much higher quality of care for you.

Our Dedication To Clinical Research 

A research study is a scientific way to improve or develop new methods of health care. Studies are designed to answer specific questions on how to prevent, diagnose, or treat diseases and disorders. Clinical trials are research studies that explore whether a new medical treatment, or a surgical device is safe and effective for human use. These studies also may show which medical approaches work best for certain illnesses or groups of people.

Women’s health research plays an important role at The Institute for Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery. As a result of The Institute’s doctors’ national reputation and expertise, surgical instrument and pharmaceutical companies bring their new product developments to the Institute for a clinical trial as part of the FDA approval or clearance process. Under the medical advisement and guidance of our physicians, many research protocols are available at the Institute. We take great pride in continuously updating you on all the new and exciting research opportunities. All of the clinical research trials have full Investigational Review Board (IRB) approval and are conducted by experienced research personnel, assuring good clinical practice.
