Urinary Incontinence, IC, and Vulvar Pain

These problems are embarrassing and reluctantly discussed, but can be well treated (usually without surgery ) the majority of time.

Vulvar pain and/or irritation is not infrequently encountered. Vulvar Vestibulitis (VVS) is seen in women in their teens, 20s and 30s, and dysesthetic or "generalized" vulvodynia in later years. Both can be successfully treated with proper knowledge and experience . Dr Goodman has many, many years experience treating these disorders. He is a member of the National Vulvodynia Association, and is interested, supportive, and well-versed in all the treatments (non-surgical and surgical) for both VVS, vulvodynia and vulvar dystrophy.

Dr. Goodman has over 30 years experience as a pelvic support surgeon, and always performs a proper diagnostic workup for the various causes of incontinence. In addition to working with medical (non-surgical) therapies, including the new Athena Pelvic Muscle Trainer, he performs a full range of support surgery. ***Most exciting is the new minimally-invasive SURx outpatient Radiofrequency Wave Pelvic Support Procedure.
