Center for Female Urology and Neuro Urology

The Stanford Center for Female Urology and Neuro Urology provides comprehensive evaluation and treatment to patients with problems relating to the bladder and lower urinary tract. 

Urinary tract disorders are greatly under reported and under treated in our society. One of the main impediments to treatment is the embarrassment many patients feel in discussing these sensitive issues. Our staff is committed to preserving patient dignity and providing the highest quality care and comfort.

Our Doctors

Care and Treatment

Conditions Treated

The Center's physicians aim to provide comprehensive care for patients with lower tract disorders. This approach is valuable because abnormalities of urination often occur simultaneously with problems with defecation, pelvic prolapse and pelvic pain.

Neuro Urologists are specially trained to evaluate all problems related to the lower urinary tract and pelvic floor. This type of practice is typically designated as Female Urology because these problems are more common in women, although many of the same problems can occur in men.

Urinary incontinence, urinary retention, and other voiding problems

Disorders resulting in the involuntary leakage of urine include functional, stress, urge and overflow incontinence, and overactive bladder syndrome (OAB).

Urinary tract pain

Several different bladder problems can cause pain and inflammation in the urinary tract, including interstitial cystitis, urinary tract infection, and bladder cancer.

Interstitial cystitis

A complex, chronic disorder characterized by an inflamed or irritated bladder wall, often leading to scarring and stiffening of the bladder, decreased bladder capacity, and glomerulations (pinpoint bleeding).

Chronic prostatitis

condition that causes pain and inflammation in the prostate (gland located directly below the bladder) and the lower urinary tract in men.

Pelvic pain

Categorized as either acute or chronic, pelvic pain has a wide range of causes and treatments.

Pelvic prolapse

A type of pelvic floor disorder in which the pelvic organs, including the bladder, uterus, vagina, small bowel and rectum, shift or sag from the normal position.

Urinary tract fistulas

An abnormal opening either within a urinary-tract organ (such as the bladder) or an abnormal connection between a urinary-tract organ and another organ (such as the colon).

Urethral strictures

A narrowing of the urethra caused by injury or disease such as urinary tract infections or other forms of urethritis, which may cause decreased urinary output.

Neurogenic bladder - spinal cord injury, multiple sclerosis, etc.

A condition in which a person lacks bladder control due to a brain, spinal cord, or nerve condition.

Clinical Trials

Clinical trials are research studies that evaluate a new medical approach, device, drug, or other treatment. As a Stanford Health Care patient, you may have access to the latest, advanced clinical trials.

Open trials refer to studies currently accepting participants. Closed trials are not currently enrolling, but may open in the future.
