What should I expect during my appointment?
During an appointment at North Atlanta Ob/Gyn, your provider checks your vital signs and reviews your symptoms and medical history. They complete a physical examination, including a pelvic exam, and often recommend you undergo urodynamics testing. These tests evaluate bladder function, including your bladder’s ability to empty or store urine and contract properly.
After your urogynecologist reviews the results from diagnostic testing, they discuss treatment options with you, including:
- Making lifestyle changes
- Pelvic floor exercises
- Taking medications
- Laser treatments
- Minor surgical procedures
Your provider personalizes each treatment to best match the severity of your condition, lifestyle, and preferences to give you the best outcome and optimize your quality of life.
