Urogynecology and pelvic floor health

Pelvic floor disorders, such as urinary or fecal incontinence, painful urination, pelvic pain or pelvic organ prolapse, can cause discomfort and embarrassment. But our team is here to help. Whether you're dealing with one of these issues or another condition, we have the expertise to provide effective treatment and support.

Menopause support

Menopause is a natural part of aging but can cause symptoms that are uncomfortable and difficult to navigate. It’s normal to have questions or concerns about your health during this time of your life. The experts at Lancaster Medical Center can support you in controlling and managing symptoms, including:

• Bone density loss
• Difficulty sleeping
• Dry skin
• Hair loss
• Hot flashes and night sweats
• Joint pain
• Mood swings, depression and irritability
• Racing heart
• Skipped or irregular periods
• Urinary incontinence
• Vaginal dryness

Our providers can help you understand your hormones and how they affect mood, energy, sleep, libido and a general sense of well-being. This insight will empower you to make an informed decision about hormone replacement therapy if that choice is right for you.

Minimally invasive and robotic-assisted surgery

If you need surgery for a gynecological condition, our experienced surgeons will use minimally invasive surgical techniques and robotic-assisted surgery whenever possible. These techniques give surgeons greater precision, resulting in smaller incisions, less pain, decreased risk of infection and bleeding and faster recovery times.

Surgery can be effective in treating gynecological conditions such as:

• Abnormal or excessive uterine bleeding
• Cancer of the cervix, uterus, ovaries or other pelvic organs
• Cysts
• Endometriosis
• Fibroid tumors
• Pelvic floor disorders
• Polycystic ovary syndrome
• Problems that can occur during pregnancy
