Urogynecology Treatments & Pelvic Floor Care at CU Anschutz

CU Anschutz Urogynecology specialize in treating pelvic floor disorders (PFDs) in order help restore our patients’ quality of life, as well as to prevent further problems.

Our staff and doctors are aware of the very personal nature of pelvic floor conditions for women. It’s often difficult for women to even ask for help with these issues.

So, while we are uniquely trained and focused on women’s pelvic health, we are also highly attuned to our patients’ sensitivities and needs. Along with the services our providers expertly perform below, women will find us to be caring listeners and dedicated partners in achieving their unique healthcare solutions.

Nearly 90 percent of urogynecologic conditions can be diagnosed and successfully treated through lifestyle changes, conservative procedures, medications, as well as complex surgical options.

Autologous sling

Surgical Options for Treating Stress Urinary Incontinence

This procedure treats stress incontinence, which is leakage of urine when exercising, sneezing or under strain. The surgery utilizes a “sling” of natural or synthetic materials to create a “hammock” under the urethra. These minimally invasive surgeries offer high success rates and quick recovery, with several options including midurethral, retropubic, transobturator, and traditional slings.

Botox

How Botox Helps Treat Overactive Bladder and Urinary Incontinence

Botox is an FDA-approved treatment that helps reduce bladder spasms and improve symptoms of overactive bladder and urinary incontinence when medications fail. The non-invasive injections relax bladder muscles, increasing storage capacity and reducing leaks. Results typically last 8–12 months, requiring repeat treatments. While generally safe, rare side effects include urinary retention.

Hysterectomy for Uterine Prolapse

A Surgical Solution for Uterine Prolapse

A hysterectomy removes the uterus and can be performed through open, vaginal, laparoscopic, or robotic techniques. In urogynecology, it is most often recommended for women with uterine prolapse—when the uterus drops into the vagina—and is typically reserved for those beyond childbearing years. After the procedure, women will no longer have menstrual periods or be able to conceive.

Gold standard surgery for pelvic organ prolapse

Sacrocolpopexy corrects prolapse of the top of the vagina or prolapse of the cervix in women who have previously had a hysterectomy or who have advanced uterine prolapse. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia through a small, abdominal incision or using a laparoscopic or robotic technique. As a result, recovery time is minimized and patients can expect a rapid return to normal activities.
