The field of urogynecology is growing everyday. As new treatments and procedures are developed and advanced technologies are implemented, the world of urogynecology is taking strides to improve the health and lives of women everywhere. Drs. Miklos and Moore have been international leaders in the advancement of urogynecology and have made extremely significant contributions to the field of Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery. Becoming a urogynecologist is no easy task. It takes years of school, training, and experience to become a doctor with the ability to diagnose and treat women with pelvic floor disorders and other urogyn conditions.
Although your primary care physician, OB/GYN, or urologist has the knowledge to discuss common urogynecology problems, a certified urogynecologist has the specific expertise stemming from their extensive education. Urogynecologists complete medical school, followed by a residency in Obstetrics and Gynecology or Urology. Their additional training allows them to have the unique experience to be able to treat and evaluate conditions that affect the female pelvic organs and associated muscles and tissues. Many, but not all, urogynecologists go on to seek additional training after their residency in the form of a formal fellowship with a focus on surgical and non-surgical treatments in the field of gynecology.
The American Board of Medical Specialties just recently declared Female Pelvic Medicine as a certified subspecialty in 2011, and declared the first board-certified urogynecologists in 2013. Doctors who pass the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and American Board of Urology exam demonstrate the unique and expert knowledge of pelvic floor conditions such as incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, overactive bladder, and are up to date on the latest research in the field of Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery.
