Duke Women's Health Navaho

Our urogynecologists evaluate and treat women with the full spectrum of conditions related to the bladder and pelvic organs. We use nonsurgical and surgical treatments to correct pelvic floor disorders, including:

• Urinary and fecal incontinence
• Pelvic organ prolapses
• Vaginal fistulas

Specialized Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgeons

We also offer treatments for:

• Endometriosis including pelvic pain, and abnormal uterine bleeding
• Fibroids
• Ovarian cysts

If surgery is recommended, our gynecologic surgeons are trained in minimally invasive gynecologic surgery that uses small incisions and advanced techniques to relieve your pain and discomfort. The use of smaller incisions results helps you recover faster with less pain and less risk of post-surgical complications. Some minimally invasive procedures can be performed in the clinic. Operations and procedures are also performed close by at Duke Raleigh, or at Duke Ambulatory Surgical Center and Duke Regional Hospital.

Planning Pregnancy/Fertility Concerns

If the problem is more complex, we may recommend additional tests to pinpoint the cause of your or your partner’s infertility and offer appropriate infertility treatment options.
