What is Urogynecology?

Urogynecology is a subspecialty within urology and gynecology that focuses on disorders of the female pelvic floor.

Urogynecologists are specifically trained to diagnose and treat pelvic floor disorders, including urinary or fecal incontinence, constipation or pelvic organ prolapse (displacement of the uterus and/or vagina).

Prolapse and incontinence frequently occur together and both conditions may result from damage to the pelvic floor after the delivery of a baby. Other factors may include heavy lifting, chronic coughing, severe constipation and obesity. 

Our New York City-based specialists, spanning both the Department of Urology's Center for Female Pelvic Health and the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, provide a comprehensive urogynecology program that addresses the full range of pelvic floor disorders. Our nationally recognized medical experts perform comprehensive diagnostic services to develop an optimal treatment plan tailored to each woman’s individual condition, including a broad range of non-surgical and surgical options.

Since many women can be affected by other conditions related to pelvic floor disorders or have other health factors, our team of physicians also works collaboratively with other specialists across Weill Cornell Medicine—including colorectal surgery, physical therapy and physical medicine and rehabilitation--to build comprehensive, unique treatment plans designed to address each woman's specific needs.

Dr. Segal showed compassion from the first day we met. She assured me and made me feel better about my condition. I felt she was the best surgeon to perform my procedure.

Talking about Bilal Chughtai, MD
One of the best doctors around; spends a lot of time answering all of your questions, always returns a message to call back, excellent bedside manner, young but extremely knowledgeable with a holistic approach. He evens walks you out of the office to the administrative staff at the end of you’re visit, need I say more about Dr. Chugtai.
