You have encountered the terms urologist and gynecologist, but what does the urogynecologist do? Urogynecologist is a medical practitioner with residency in either urology or obstetrics and gynecology. Further specialization often ensues, with the main focus of helping female patients with problems concerning pelvic organs, connective tissue, and muscles. The pelvic floor includes muscles, tissue, connective tissue, nerves and ligaments that keep the vagina, bladder, uterus, and rectum in place.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
