A urogynecologist is a gynecologist who has undergone fellowship training to specialize in treating women with a variety of pelvic floor disorders. Before the specialty was created, women with pelvic floor disorders typically had to visit multiple specialists who treated their pelvic support, urinary, and gastrointestinal problems separately. However pelvic floor components work together as a unit and not independently. Hence the urogynecologist provides integrated comprehensive care for bladder, bowel, and support problems of the pelvic floor.
