Urogynecology
Specialized care for women
Many women experience gynecologic problems and pelvic floor issues that they feel embarrassed about—such as accidental urine or bowel leakage (incontinence), pelvic pain, menstrual problems, endometriosis and others. These issues happen more often than most people think; in fact, urinary incontinence affects about 50% of adult women. These common problems can be treated with help from the right expert.
Many urogynecological problems result from damage to the pelvic floor caused by childbirth, heavy lifting on a regular basis, chronic coughing, severe constipation or obesity. Following appropriate evaluation, a range of treatment options may be recommended—from physical therapy and lifestyle modifications to medications or surgical intervention.
Our team, led by Scott Beard, MD, FACOG, FPMRS, provides consultation, comprehensive evaluation and surgical treatments for women with pelvic floor conditions. We partner closely with our patients and emphasize personalized attention to create a customized treatment plan that works for each woman.
Dr. Beard is board-certified with specialized training in gynecology, female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery. He is passionate about partnering with his patients to help them understand, manage and overcome gynecologic problems and pelvic floor conditions.
