Duke provides expert evaluation and treatment from a team of
specialists from both gynecology and urology, in a comfortable
and friendly environment.
With one clinic visit, your entire evaluation will be
completed, and you will have access to all state-of-the-art
therapies available.
This service treats all problems women may have related to
their bladder or female organs. Specific conditions treated
include:

of growing older nor as being uncorrectable.

therapeutic options tailored to your problem. Then you can make
an informed decision.
