Urogynecologists are doctors who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic floor disorders, which affect the muscles and tissues that support the pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, vagina, and rectum). These disorders can cause symptoms such as urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and chronic pelvic pain. Urogynecologists typically perform pelvic exams, order diagnostic tests, and develop treatment plans that may include medication, physical therapy, or surgery.

To become a urogynecologist in Miami, the doctor needs to finish medical school, followed by a 4 year residency in obstetrics and gynecology. They then need to do a 1-3 year fellowship in urogynecology where they will receive specialized training in the evaluation and management of pelvic floor disorders, including urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and other conditions that affect the female pelvic organs. They then need to become board-certified in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS) through the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ABOG) or the American Osteopathic Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology (AOBOG). Finally they need to get a license to practice urogynecology in the state of Florida. Altogether, it takes 13-15 years to become a urogynecologist in Miami.

A good urogynecologist should have extensive knowledge and training in the diagnosis and treatment of pelvic floor disorders, including urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and fecal incontinence. They should be empathetic and compassionate in their interactions with patients, as many of the conditions they treat can be sensitive and affect a patient's quality of life. Urogynecologists should also be skilled in performing minimally invasive surgeries and other procedures to treat pelvic floor disorders.
