Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. What is pelvic organ prolapse?
Pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the pelvic floor muscles weaken, causing one or more of the pelvic organs—such as the bladder, uterus, or rectum—to "drop" or press into the vaginal wall. Patients often describe this as a feeling of pressure, bulging, or "something falling out." It is a common condition that has many effective treatment options.
What is the difference between stress and urge incontinence?
These are the two most common types of urinary incontinence. Stress incontinence is urine leakage that happens with physical activity like coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising. Urge incontinence is a sudden, intense urge to urinate, followed by an involuntary loss of urine before you can get to a bathroom. Many women have a combination of both, known as mixed incontinence.
What conditions do you treat?
I specialize in treating a wide range of pelvic floor disorders, including bladder prolapse (cystocele), uterine prolapse, and dropped rectum (rectocele). I also provide comprehensive care for all types of urinary incontinence (stress, urge, and mixed) as well as fecal incontinence.

Philosophy of Care
I feel it’s important to individualize care for each patient. There are many factors that need to be considered when deciding on a treatment plan, and my role is to educate you on your condition as well as every treatment option available. Together, we come to a decision as to what is best for you at this point in your life and understanding that as your situation changes, so may your treatment plan.
Patient involvement is key. When you feel in charge of your own care, I believe the outcome is always better. In this specialty, treatment options vary from conservative management all the way to surgery. My goal is to partner with you to decide on the best path forward, ensuring you feel supported and confident in your choices.
