Compassionate urogynecology care in Texas

Pelvic health is important for women of all ages. From leaks when you laugh to sexual dysfunction, pelvic issues can limit your daily activities, but you don’t have to live with these symptoms. At Baylor Scott & White, you’ll get the support you need from urogynecologists who can help you manage incontinence, pelvic pain and other similar concerns, and get you back to a life you love.

Our approach to pelvic health

Pelvic floor disorders are estimated to affect as many as 25% of women in the United States. Urogynecologists specialize in these common conditions, offering comprehensive education, evaluation, diagnosis and treatment options to improve your pelvic health and quality of life.

  • Care at every stage of life

    Your body changes as you get older. Pelvic floor disorders can develop as a result of childbirth, menopause or the aging process, but that does not mean they are a natural part of life.

    Your urogynecologist can offer age-appropriate treatments and lifestyle advice based on your needs. Our teams provide a lifetime of care, from diagnosis and treatment to annual checkups, so you can manage these conditions at any age.

  • A focus on nonsurgical therapies

    Many women find that therapies can alleviate symptoms, including bladder training and pelvic floor exercises. Your urogynecologist may combine those therapies with other nonsurgical treatment options, including:

    • Injections: Botulinum toxin injections can help treat an overactive bladder.
    • Medications: Various medications for overactive bladder to treat urinary incontinence may be right for you.
    • Vaginal pessaries: These devices support and help keep organs in place and can be used to treat pelvic organ prolapse and certain types of urinary incontinence.
  • Advanced, minimally invasive solutions

    Not every pelvic floor disorder requires surgery. You may benefit from an advanced solution, such as biofeedback, electrical stimulation or neuromodulation, which can help improve connections between the nerves and brain to help you manage incontinence.

    If you need surgery, our teams can perform minimally invasive procedures requiring smaller incisions and shorter recovery times to help you get back to life faster.

Urogynecology conditions we treat

Pelvic floor disorders occur when the pelvic floor weakens. The pelvic floor includes the muscles, ligaments and connective tissue that support the organs. Here are some common types of pelvic floor disorders our providers treat.

Chronic pelvic pain

Chronic pelvic pain is severe pain that lasts six months or longer. A common condition that affects 1 in 7 women, it can be related to other mental and physical health disorders, such as depression and irritable bowel syndrome.

Fecal Incontinence

Fecal incontinence occurs when you have difficulty controlling bowel movements. You may not be able to hold in stool long enough to reach the toilet, or stool may leak without you realizing it.


Interstitial cystitis (bladder pain)

Interstitial cystitis, or bladder pain syndrome, causes severe pain that lasts six weeks or longer. Symptoms can mimic those of a urinary tract infection and other bladder conditions, making it difficult to diagnose.

Pelvic organ prolapse

Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the natural support of the pelvic floor muscles weakens over time. Several factors, including childbirth, pelvic trauma and aging can cause this.


Sexual dysfunction

Many women who are affected by pelvic floor symptoms experience reduced sexual arousal, infrequent orgasms, and pain during or after intercourse. These complications occur for both physical and psychological reasons.

Urinary incontinence

Urinary incontinence is a lack of bladder control caused by pressure on the bladder (stress incontinence) or an overactive bladder (urge incontinence). You have many options for treating urinary incontinence.


Urinary tract infections (UTIs)

UTIs occur when bacteria enter the urethra and infect the bladder or kidneys. Your primary care or women’s health provider can treat UTIs with antibiotics, but a urogynecologist can help you address recurring UTIs.

Our urogynecology diagnostics and treatments

If you have a pelvic floor disorder, your women’s health provider can refer you to our urogynecology teams, where you’ll have access to advanced diagnostic tools and treatments to address your condition and help you get back to your daily routines with less pain, incontinence and other symptoms.

Your provider may recommend:

  • Bladder augmentation (bladder repair surgery)
  • Bladder instillations
  • Cystoscopy
  • Pelvic reconstructive surgery
  • Pelvic slings
  • Prolapse repair
  • Sacrocolpopexy

You also have access to many nonsurgical solutions for incontinence, including:

  • Biofeedback and functional electrical stimulation for incontinence
  • Neuromodulation for incontinence
  • Periurethral injections
  • Pelvic floor physical therapy

Specialized pelvic floor therapy for your pelvic health

Pelvic floor physical therapy offers a nonsurgical solution for many pelvic health concerns. Strengthening pelvic muscles and reducing muscle tension can help alleviate pain, incontinence and other symptoms.
