Urogynecology and Women’s Pelvic Health at Novo Clinic
Women's Pelvic Health encompasses treating conditions related to the pelvic organs and surrounding muscles, tissues and nerves.
Introduction to Urogynecology and Women’s Pelvic Health
Women’s pelvic health is a broad field encompassing a range of conditions related to the pelvic organs and the surrounding muscles, tissues, and nerves. Surgical interventions often play a crucial role in treating pelvic health issues that cannot be managed effectively through conservative or non-surgical means. Below is a detailed exploration of the role of surgical interventions in women’s pelvic health.
Dr. Richter can help. He has been performing advanced laparoscopic surgery for some of these problems for almost 25 years and was trained as a subspecialist in urogynecology. He currently performs high level minimally invasive (“keyhole”) surgeries to help women with prolapse. Many of the cases he does are problem cases with failed previous repairs. He was also trained in the full spectrum of vaginal surgeries to help incontinence, prolapse and certain bowel related problems like constipation and previous delivery-related complications.
In conclusion, surgical interventions in women’s pelvic health are diverse and tailored to the specific condition and needs of the patient. Advances in minimally invasive techniques have significantly improved outcomes, but it remains essential for women to work closely with their healthcare providers to choose the most appropriate treatment option.
Focus of our Treatment
What is urogynecology? It is a subspecialty of gynecology also known as “pelvic reconstructive surgery”. It deals with problems related to female pelvic organ prolapse, urinary problems, like incontinence, and also some bowel related problems.
The female pelvic floor refers to the (complex) muscles, ligaments, connective tissue and nerves that comprise the pelvic organ support. Support and function are intertwined and these supports play a very important role in the function of the bladder, vagina, uterus and bowels.
Loss of support may lead to multiple problems. Some of these are incontinence, difficulty emptying the bladder, vaginal and pelvic pressure and prolapse, as well as difficulty emptying the bowel and constipation.
The impact on women’s daily functioning and QOL (quality of life) can vary from minimal to debilitating. Some women are not able to function due to these kinds of problems.
Aesthetic (cosmetic) gynecology has become mainstream over the past 10 years. Many women undergo aesthetic procedures to improve body parts. Gynecologic cosmetic surgery has been shown to enhance the well-being and function of women who are not satisfied with the appearance or function of their intimate body parts. Sometimes there are functional problems, like large labia that may interfere with spinning, or cycling, or cause unappealing appearance (e.g. “camel toe”).
Some women have other problems, like vaginal laxity (“looseness”), especially after vaginal deliveries. This is also a condition that can be surgically corrected with good success.
For women seeking aesthetic gynecology treatment it is important to have this done by a doctor who is appropriately trained. Dr. Richter is certified by ESAG (the European Society of Aesthetic Gynecology). He is also a urogynecologist and reconstructive pelvic surgeon, which makes him very well-qualified as an aesthetic gynecology surgeon.
He offers labiaplasty (minora and majora), clitoral hood reduction, vaginal rejuvenation and more.
