Non-surgical Modalities for Pelvic Floor Disorders – Summary
Oscar A. Aguirre, MD, discusses managing female stress urinary incontinence and related pelvic floor issues, including non-surgical treatments. In this 11-minute talk, Aguirre notes a shift away from surgeries as non-invasive options have proven effective in alleviating urinary symptoms.
Dr. Aguirre began using laser treatments for vaginal tightening in 2013, which unexpectedly improved patients’ sexual function, lubrication, and incontinence. Over time, these experiences revealed the utility of various non-surgical options, including radiofrequency and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapies, for enhancing both sexual health and urinary symptoms. He emphasizes that these treatments, though not FDA-approved for incontinence, have shown promising results in improving symptoms without invasive intervention.
