Urology is a specialized medical field that focuses specifically on your urinary tract, including your bladder, ureters, urethra, and kidneys. When caring for women, urologists also specialize in pelvic floor health, vaginal health, and external genitalia. For men, they provide advanced medical care for the male reproductive system.
The experienced team at Pacific Northwest Urology Specialists provides a wide range of specialized services for women throughout every stage of life. The team has a female urologist on staff to help you feel more comfortable discussing these very personal and intimate issues that can vary in complexity.
Common women’s health conditions include:
After you go through menopause, you also experience changes to the vagina, which narrows and decreases in length. These changes also include a loss in vaginal folds, which reduces your sensation during sexual intercourse. In addition to these changes, your labia also thins and you experience less blood flow to your vagina.
The expert team at Pacific Northwest Urology Specialists diagnoses women’s health issues by performing a full physical exam and discussing your symptoms. They offer a wide range of treatments, depending on the type of women’s health condition you have.
Many conditions affecting a woman’s urological health respond well to treatments designed to strengthen and tone your pelvic floor muscles. These exercises often include Kegels or physical therapy with a female pelvic therapist.
Your urologist also relies on innovative new therapies for women, like the diVa™ laser. This in-office therapy delivers wavelengths of energy to your vaginal tissue to restore its health. DiVa therapy doesn’t require any downtime, treats a variety of women’s health issues, and helps you improve the quality of your sexual intimacy and regain your self-confidence.
In some cases, your urologist might also recommend medication or surgical treatment to manage your condition.
