Urogynecology Clinic

Diagnoses and treats women with problems related to pelvic organ prolapse and leaking urine or stool (incontinence). Treats new mothers with 3rd & 4th degree perineal tears.

Services offered include the following:

  • Education - Most new patients are required to view 5 basic modules online and attend a group Zoom class. Additional supplementary modules and handouts are available.
  • Conservative/Behavioral Therapy – The nurses and physiotherapists see women for assessment and behavioural treatment for the above disorders, which require patient involvement and commitment to modification of activities and lifestyle.
  • Pessary Fitting - Clinic nurses assess and fit women for vaginal pessaries, devices that assist with prolapse and incontinence issues.
  • Medical Intervention – When appropriate, medications may be prescribed that reduce symptoms in women.
  • Surgical Intervention - The clinic urogynecologists will provide surgical interventions for women with prolapse and stress incontinence issues.
  • Physiotherapy - Clinic physiotherapists provide education, assessment and treatment for complex clinic patients. Direct referrals for physiotherapy are NOT accepted.

The team includes nurses, physiotherapists and physicians with a focus on patient-centered care, based on patient education. Patients may be seen by various team members during their treatment at the clinic. As this is a tertiary care specialty clinic, patients can expect to be discharged back to their referring provider. Our goal is to improve quality of life.
