Some of the surgical procedures performed by urogynaecologists are vaginal hysterectomy, cystocele repair, uterosacral ligament fixation, anal sphincter reconstruction, and urethroplasty.

The warning signs that indicate a pelvic organ prolapse are a dragging discomfort inside your vagina, a feeling of heaviness around your genitals and lower tummy, a lump bulging out of your vagina, recurring urinary tract infections, and difficulty in emptying your bowel. You should visit a urogynaecologist if you notice any of these symptoms.

The major difference between a urogynaecologist and gynaecologist is that the former is a surgeon while the latter does not usually perform surgeries. Gynaecologists usually treat common health problems in women while urogynaecologists are trained to treat more complex disorders in women and perform surgeries if required.
