What is a urogynecologist? A urogynecologist is a physician with special training in urology, gynecology and obstetrics who focuses on the evaluation and treatment of non-cancerous conditions concerning the female pelvic organs and their supporting muscles and tissues, as well as pelvic reconstructive surgery.
That is a very good question, and I get asked that frequently. The truth is that the basic fields are quite different, but as the fields get more specialized, the two fields become more similar and have a great deal of overlap. A urogynecologist is an OB/Gyn by training who has gone on to more training after residency. Usually this doctor has completed a four-year OB/Gyn residency followed by two or three more years of training, called a fellowship, devoted only to reconstruction of the pelvic floor and other disorders including incontinence of the bladder.
