The Brigham and Women’s Urogynecology Group, one of New England’s most advanced urogynecology practices, provides state-of-the-art clinically advanced care to women who suffer from problems related to urinary incontinence and voiding difficulties.

A subspecialty within obstetrics and gynecology, our nationally and internationally recognized fellowship trained urogynecologists and highly-specialized nurse practitioners, nurses, and medical assistants specialize in the treatment of a wide range of urogynecologic conditions including:

  • Urinary incontinence;
  • Interstitial cystitis and bladder pain syndromes;
  • Overactive bladder;
  • Pelvic floor dysfunction;
  • Pelvic prolapse;
  • Post-surgical complications;
  • Urogynecologic fistula.

We also specialize in the most innovative surgical and non-surgical treatment options for urogynecologic conditions including minimally invasive and adjustable sling procedures and mesh/graft augmentation as well as uterine preservation procedures for prolapse. In addition, we offer pelvic floor physical therapy for a variety of conditions including pelvic floor dysfunction.

Depending on the diagnosis, an individualized treatment program may be designed to allow the patient to assume an active role in regaining control of bladder function. Treatment options, such as biofeedback, bladder training, electrical stimulation, hormone replacement therapy, medication to control bladder spasm, medication for urinary tract infection, collagen injections, and/or surgery for prolapse to repair bladder support, are available.
