Urogynecology Isn’t a Luxury, It’s Life-Changing Care
Pelvic floor issues aren’t exactly cocktail party conversation. But for millions of women, conditions like urinary incontinence, prolapse, and pelvic pain are a daily reality often silently endured out of embarrassment, confusion, or the belief that it’s “just part of getting older.”
It’s not. And you don’t have to live that way.
At MacArthur Medical Center, we specialize in urogynecology, an advanced, highly focused area of medicine that helps women reclaim comfort, control, and confidence.
What Is Urogynecology?
Urogynecology is a subspecialty of OB/GYN that focuses on the pelvic floor: the muscles, tissues, and organs that support your bladder, uterus, and rectum. When these systems weaken or become damaged (from childbirth, aging, or surgery), they can cause frustrating, even debilitating symptoms.
Common urogynecologic issues include:
- Stress urinary incontinence (leaking when you laugh, cough, or sneeze)
- Urge incontinence or overactive bladder
- Pelvic organ prolapse (feeling like something is “falling” or bulging)
- Chronic pelvic pain
- Pain with intercourse
- Difficulty emptying the bladder or bowel
These are treatable medical conditions. They’re not “normal,” even if they’re common.
Why Most Women Don’t Get the Help They Need
Many women live with symptoms for years before seeking help. Why?
- They’re told it’s “just menopause” or “what happens after babies”
- They’re embarrassed to bring it up
- They think surgery is the only option
- They’ve never heard of a urogynecologist
At MacArthur, we’re changing that narrative with education and compassionate care.
A Specialist Who Understands the Whole Picture
Dr. Kevin O’Neil, one of the first physicians in the U.S. to become board-certified in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery, leads our urogynecology team.
But what sets this care apart isn’t just the credentials, it’s the whole-person approach.
Your symptoms are real. They affect your sleep, your confidence, your relationships, and your ability to move freely in your life. You deserve a provider who treats more than anatomy. Someone who listens, understands, and creates a treatment plan that aligns with your goals.
Treatment Options That Work for You
The best part? You have options. Urogynecologic treatment doesn’t always mean surgery.
Depending on your condition, you may benefit from:
- Pelvic floor therapy – Exercises and techniques that strengthen and retrain your pelvic muscles
- Medications – To reduce urgency, frequency, or pain
- Minimally invasive procedures – In-office or outpatient options that correct issues with little downtime
- Advanced surgical techniques – When needed, we offer procedures that restore normal anatomy with precision and long-term results
Our team will walk you through each option, explain the pros and cons, and help you choose the path that fits your life, not a checklist on a chart.
Real Stories. Real Relief.
One patient described living with incontinence for nearly a decade. “I planned my days around bathrooms. I stopped going on long walks, I skipped events. I just didn’t trust my body anymore.”
After receiving care at MacArthur, her life changed: “Now I go where I want, when I want. I got my freedom back.”
That’s the power of specialized pelvic floor care. It’s not cosmetic. It’s not excessive. It’s essential.
When Should You See a Urogynecologist?
If you’re experiencing any of the following, it’s time to talk to someone who can help:
- Leaking urine during daily activities
- Pressure, bulging, or heaviness in the pelvic area
- Chronic urinary tract infections
- Difficulty fully emptying your bladder or bowels
- Pelvic pain or discomfort during intimacy
You don’t need to wait until it’s “bad enough.” If something feels off, we’re here to listen, and we take your concerns seriously.
Dignity. Expertise. Relief.
