Emory Center for Pelvic Reconstructive Surgery & Urogynecology
Located at The Emory Clinic at Building A, on Emory University campus, the Center offers comprehensive evaluation, management and treatment options for female urinary and pelvic floor dysfunctions. The staff provides a specialized, combined expertise in the treatment of women with pelvic floor disorders that include:
- Urinary Incontinence
- Voiding (bladder emptying) Dysfunction
- Fecal Incontinence or Bowel Disorders
- Vaginal Wall Prolapse: loss of support in the vaginal wall, which causes other pelvic organs to "fall into" or invade the vaginal area.
Many of these conditions are a result of childbirth, menopause or aging. Treatment can include physical therapies and exercises, diet modifications and in some instances, surgery. Patients benefit from the comprehensive diagnostic capabilities of the Center's various urodynamic laboratories.
