Frequently asked questions

Urogynecology surgery refers to procedures designed to treat pelvic floor disorders that affect women, such as urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, or chronic pelvic pain. These surgeries aim to repair or support the pelvic organs and muscles to restore normal function and improve quality of life. Depending on the condition, surgery may involve bladder repair, prolapse repair, or other interventions.

Some common urogynecology surgeries include:

  • Hysterectomy: Removal of the uterus, often performed for uterine prolapse.

  • Pelvic organ prolapse surgery: Repair of prolapsed organs like the bladder, uterus, or rectum. This can include vaginal mesh implants or native tissue repairs.

  • Colposuspension: A procedure to lift and support the bladder neck, often done for urinary incontinence.

  • Vaginal sling surgery: Insertion of a sling to support the urethra and reduce urinary incontinence.

  • Sacral nerve stimulation (SNS): A procedure to stimulate nerves that control the bladder, helping treat overactive bladder or urinary retention.

  • Fecal incontinence surgery: Surgery to repair anal sphincter muscles or address conditions leading to bowel control issues.

Surgery is typically considered when conservative treatments (like pelvic floor therapy, medications, or lifestyle changes) are no longer effective or if the condition severely impacts your daily life. If you experience:

  • Persistent pelvic pain

  • Incontinence (urinary or fecal) that does not respond to other treatments

  • A feeling of heaviness or bulging in the pelvic area (prolapse)

  • Difficulty with sexual function due to pelvic floor weakness
    Your urogynecologist will evaluate your condition through clinical exams, imaging, and possibly other tests to determine if surgery is necessary.

Urogynecology surgeries are often minimally invasive, performed either through small incisions or via the vaginal canal. The exact procedure depends on your diagnosis. For example:

  • Vaginal prolapse surgery may be done through the vagina with minimal incisions.

  • Laparoscopic surgery uses tiny incisions and a camera for better precision.

  • Open surgery may be necessary for more complex repairs.

Most surgeries are performed under general anesthesia, meaning you’ll be asleep throughout the procedure. Your surgeon will discuss the details of your specific surgery, recovery expectations, and any possible risks beforehand.

Recovery times vary depending on the type of surgery:

  • Minimally invasive surgeries (e.g., laparoscopic or vaginal surgery) usually involve a shorter recovery, typically around 1 to 2 weeks for light activities, with full recovery in 4 to 6 weeks.

Open surgery for more complex cases can require a longer recovery, often 6 to 8 weeks.
You will be advised to avoid heavy lifting, intense physical activity, and sexual intercourse for a specified period after surgery to allow proper healing. Your doctor will give you personalized guidelines on diet, medication, and follow-up care.
