Center for Continence and Prolapse

Our center was developed in part because of Dr. Edwards’ special interest in urogynecology, and the unique issues surrounding pelvic support as well as her commitment to providing the highest quality of care to her patients.
Women oftentimes do not tell their doctor about their symptoms of urinary incontinence and less than half of women seek medical care. Instead, they rely on absorbent pads or limit their activity and change their lifestyle, to deal with the condition. They may feel ashamed or even avoid certain social or work events. The Continence and Pelvic Support Center is here to help.

Our services include:

Evaluation of female urinary incontinence, urgency and frequency
Behavioral, biofeedback and nonsurgical treatment of urinary and bowel disorders
Surgical treatment of urinary incontinence, including new, minimally invasive approaches
Evaluation of abnormal bowel control, including difficult evacuations and leakage
Surgical treatment of bowel incontinence
Neurophysiologic testing of pelvic floor muscles and nerves
Specialized evaluations and treatment of new pelvic problems following childbirth
Individualized treatment of loss of support to pelvic organs
Specialists trained in simple and complex surgical procedures to treat disorders of the pelvic floor

Once an underlying cause of the disorder is discovered, we will work with you to develop a personalized treatment plan. There are many surgical and nonsurgical interventions available, depending on your individual circumstances.
