What is Urogynecology?
Urogynecology is the newest subspecialty of Obstetrics and Gynecology with a focus on female pelvic health. After four years of Ob/Gyn training, urogynecologists spend 3 more years training for this subspecialty learning how to treat all forms of incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse (dropping of the pelvic organs, the bladder, uterus and/or rectum). Urogynecologists also treat chronic pelvic pain, urgency/frequency syndromes, sexual dysfunction as well as all other forms of benign general gynecologic problems. The training involves learning the medical and surgical treatments available for these problems. But, be careful, many physicians call themselves urogynecologists without ANY formal training in this area. Be sure to ask your practitioner if they have done a three year accredited training program in urogynecology. Even those that have had some training (as little as a one day course) will call themselves urogynecologists. You have the right to ask. Dr Vardy is the only urogynecologist in Manhattan to graduate from a urogynecology program accredited by the American Board of OB/Gyn (ABOG). He has trained over 250 physicians in the newest vaginal approaches using synthetic mesh and is trained in all aspects of the field including state of the art Robotic surgery. His training program is the only ABOG (American Board of OB/Gyn) accredited program in Manhattan.
