Women's Health

Women's health topics are the clinical problems that the urogynecologist and female-pelvic-medicine specialist often manage alongside the surgical problem: menopausal genitourinary changes, recurrent infection, sexual function, and the age-appropriate cancer-screening and risk-reduction decisions that shape preoperative counseling. For congenital reconstructive gynecology (MRKH, vaginal agenesis, McIndoe, Davydov or Vecchietti vaginoplasty), see Müllerian Anomalies & Vaginal Agenesis under Disorders of Genitalia.
