NEW... Pelvic Support Problems

Diagnosis
Proper diagnosis is key to treating pelvic support problems. Diagnosis is not always simple, though. The symptoms of pelvic support problems often mimic those of other conditions. In most cases, a woman with these symptoms will know that she has a problem, but the cause may be unclear. The exact cause of the problem must be found before the best treatment can be given.
To make an exact diagnosis, your doctor will take your medical history and do a thorough pelvic exam. You may be examined while you are lying down and again while you are standing. Your bladder function also may be tested.

If you have a problem with either passing or controlling urine, other tests may be needed:

  • Cystoscopy and urethroscopy - the inside of the bladder and urethra is viewed through a small, lighted telescope
  • Cystometry - the amount the bladder can hold and control is measured
  • Uroflowmetry - urine flow is measured between the opening of the vagina and the anus.
