Center for Urogynecology and Women's Pelvic Health

The UCSF Center for Urogynecology and Women's Pelvic Health provides specialized, innovative care for patients with conditions resulting from weak or injured pelvic floor muscles.

Common pelvic floor disorders include:

• Stress urinary incontinence (unintentional urine leakage during certain activities, such as sneezing, laughing or exercising)
• Overactive bladder or urgency incontinence (a frequent, sudden need to pee that may cause urine to leak)
• Pelvic organ prolapse (a bulging or protruding body part, such as the bladder, resulting from weakness or damage to the tissues that support the vaginal area)
• Fecal incontinence (when stool accidentally leaks from the rectum)

Our team includes gynecologists, urologists, urogynecologic and colorectal surgeons, nurse practitioners, and physical therapists who specialize in strengthening the pelvic floor. We work together to ensure a comprehensive evaluation for every patient, then design a care plan that aligns with the individual's treatment goals.

We offer a broad range of surgical and nonsurgical options, including advanced treatments that aren't widely available, such as non-mesh surgery for stress incontinence and uterine-sparing surgical repair for pelvic organ prolapse.
