Welcome to Dr. Christopher Walker's urogynecology service, where we specialize in providing comprehensive care for women with pelvic floor disorders. With years of experience and a commitment to patient-centered care, Dr. Walker and our team are dedicated to improving the quality of life for women facing pelvic health challenges.

What is Urogynecology?

Urogynecology is a subspecialty of gynecology that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic floor disorders. These disorders often result from weakened pelvic muscles or tissues, leading to symptoms such as urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and other pelvic floor dysfunctions. Urogynecologists like Dr. Christopher Walker are specially trained to address these complex conditions with a combination of medical expertise and compassionate care.

Our Approach to Urogynecology Care

At Dr. Christopher Walker's practice, we take a holistic approach to urogynecology care, recognizing that each patient is unique and requires personalized treatment. Our services encompass a range of diagnostic, therapeutic, and surgical options designed to meet the diverse needs of women experiencing pelvic floor disorders.

Diagnostic Services

We begin with a thorough evaluation and diagnosis process to understand the underlying causes of your symptoms. This may include:

• Comprehensive Physical Examination: Dr. Walker conducts a detailed physical examination to assess pelvic muscle strength, organ position, and any signs of dysfunction.
• Advanced Imaging Techniques: We utilize state-of-the-art imaging technologies such as ultrasound and MRI to obtain detailed images of the pelvic organs and structures.
• Urodynamic Testing: This specialized test helps evaluate bladder function and identify any issues contributing to urinary incontinence or other urinary symptoms.

Treatment Options

Once a diagnosis is made, Dr. Christopher Walker develops a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific condition and goals. Our treatment options may include:

• Behavioral Therapies: We offer guidance on lifestyle modifications, bladder training techniques, and pelvic floor exercises to improve muscle strength and control.
• Medications: In some cases, medications may be prescribed to manage symptoms such as urinary incontinence or overactive bladder.
• Minimally Invasive Procedures: Dr. Walker specializes in minimally invasive techniques, including pelvic floor reconstruction, sling procedures for urinary incontinence, and vaginal mesh removal for complications related to previous surgeries.
• Surgical Interventions: For complex cases or severe symptoms, surgical interventions may be recommended. Dr. Walker is skilled in advanced surgical procedures to repair pelvic organ prolapse, treat urinary incontinence, and restore pelvic floor function.
