Urogynecology

Our Approach to Treatment

Houston Methodist’s urogynecologists are pioneers in their field and lead the nation in diagnosing, treating, researching and teaching others about complex pelvic floor disorders. We provide the most advanced care available to women with lower urinary tract and pelvic floor conditions. 

Our experts have completed additional training and certification in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery and provide that level of education to prospective urogynecologists. Additionally, we offer clinical trials for conditions such as urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence and neurogenic bladder.
