Women’s Urologic Health

Urologic health plays an important role in your comfort and quality of life. For women, urinary and pelvic issues can develop at any age - whether related to childbirth, hormonal changes or aging. 

At Banner Health, our urology specialists provide compassionate care for women experiencing bladder, kidney, and pelvic floor conditions. We’ll work with you to find the cause of your symptoms and create a treatment plan designed to restore your confidence and well-being. 

Understanding women’s urologic conditions 

Some urologic conditions are common and easily treatable, while others may signal a more serious concern. Knowing when to seek care can help you prevent complications and feel better sooner. 

If you experience any of the following symptoms, it may be time to talk to your doctor: 

• Frequent urination or sudden urgency 
• Leaking urine when coughing, laughing, or exercising 
• Pain or pressure in the pelvis 
• Burning or discomfort when urinating 
• Blood in the urine 
• Difficulty emptying your bladder 

Our team offers testing and diagnostic tools such as cystoscopy and urodynamic studies to identify the cause of your symptoms and guide treatment.

• Urinary tract infections (UTIs) 
• Urinary incontinence, including leakage after childbirth

Whether your symptoms are new or ongoing, we’ll help you find lasting relief through expert care and evidence-based treatments. 

Treatment options for women’s urologic health 

Your treatment plan will depend on your diagnosis, lifestyle and preferences. At Banner Health, we offer both non-surgical and surgical options to help manage symptoms and improve bladder control. 

Common treatments include:
