Urethral Sling
Millions of women experience bladder leaks with activities like coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising. While lifestyle changes and pelvic floor therapy can help, many women need a more effective, lasting solution. One of the most common and successful treatments is a urethral sling procedure.
Urethral Bulking
Urethral bulking is a minimally invasive procedure that helps treat stress urinary incontinence. Instead of surgery, a soft water-based gel (called Bulkamid®) is injected into the walls of the urethra. This gel cushions the urethra, helping it close more effectively to prevent leakage. I like to think of it as wrinkle filler for your urethra.
Bladder Botox® Injections
If you struggle with sudden urges to urinate, frequent bathroom trips, or leakage before you make it to the restroom, you may have overactive bladder (OAB). This condition affects millions of women and can greatly impact daily life. The good news is that effective treatments are available—one of the most advanced options is Botox® injections for OAB.
Axonics therapy for bladder and bowel control
If you struggle with urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, or urinary retention, you are not alone. These conditions affect many women and can have a major impact on quality of life. When medications, pelvic floor therapy, or other treatments haven’t provided enough relief, sacral neuromodulation (SNM) may be an effective solution.
Biote® Hormone Therapy
Biote® Hormone Therapy uses bioidentical hormone pellets to help restore balance and ease symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, and low energy. With a personalized approach, this treatment supports long-term wellness so you can feel more like yourself again.
Pessary Fitting and Support
If you are experiencing pelvic organ prolapse or stress urinary incontinence, we may recommend a vaginal pessary. Pessaries are a safe, non-surgical option that can help support your pelvic organs and improve your quality of life.
Vaginal Estrogen
Vaginal estrogen is a low-dose hormone treatment applied directly in the vagina. It comes as a cream, small tablet, or vaginal ring. Unlike hormone pills or patches, vaginal estrogen works locally, restoring the natural moisture, elasticity, and thickness of vaginal tissues with minimal absorption into the bloodstream.
Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS) for Bladder Control
If you struggle with overactive bladder (OAB), urinary urgency, or urinary frequency, you’re not alone. Many women experience these symptoms, which can interfere with daily life, sleep, and confidence. One effective, non-surgical treatment option is Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS).
Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized form of physical therapy focused on strengthening, relaxing, and retraining the pelvic floor muscles. A trained pelvic floor physical therapist uses gentle techniques to help women gain better muscle control, improve coordination, and relieve pain.
DiVa Vaginal Laser Therapy
DiVa vaginal laser therapy is a non-surgical treatment designed to improve vaginal health. Many women experience changes in their vaginal tissue due to childbirth, aging, or menopause. DiVa uses a gentle laser to stimulate collagen and improve blood flow in the vaginal tissue. The result is healthier, stronger, and more hydrated tissue.
DiVaTyte™ Vulvar Laser Therapy
DiVaTyte™ is a non-invasive, non-ablative laser treatment designed to improve the appearance and tone of vulvar skin. Over time, factors such as aging, childbirth, hormonal changes, and genetics can cause the delicate tissues of the vulva to lose elasticity and firmness. DiVaTyte uses gentle infrared laser technology to stimulate collagen production, tighten lax tissue, and restore a more youthful appearance.
