When should I see a urogynecologist?
Urogynecology combines urology with gynecology -- a perfect sub-specialty if you're a woman suffering from incontinence of urine or stool, a bulge when you wipe, or pain during sex, explains Dr. Kevin Benson, MD, of Sanford Health.

And because we only treat a limited number of problems, it allows us to first keep up on research better.
Second, to provide a higher level of care for those problems. [MUSIC PLAYING]
Urinary and fecal incontinence, so leakage of urine or stool. Pelvic organ prolapse.
Essentially something coming down in the vagina or a form of a hernia such as uterine prolapse, bladder prolapse, or rectal prolapse.
And the treatment of pelvic pain. These three disorders represent the lion's share
of our practice. And because we only treat a limited number of problems, it allows us to, first, keep up on research better.
Second, to provide a higher level of care for those problems. And thirdly, to coordinate a more cohesive approach
to treatment of the problems. In particular for a patient, oftentimes, symptoms
define where they may go. So women who may have incontinence of urine or stool, women who may feel a bulge when they wipe
or a sense of pressure in their pelvis, or women who experience pain either with intercourse or throughout the day or night, or difficulties in voiding,
are prime candidates that we may be able to help. [AUDIO LOGO]
