June 25, 2026This piece is sponsored by Sanford Health. Many women experience pelvic floor concerns at some point in their lives, but they often go undiagnosed or untreated. Many of the conditions are common and highly treatable with the right level of specialized care. TheSanford Urogynecology & Pelvic Surgery Clinicin Sioux Falls offers advanced, compassionate care designed to restore patients’ confidence and quality of life. What is urogynecology?Urogynecology, also known as pelvic medicine, is a subspecialty focused on female pelvic floor disorders such as urinary and bowel incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and pelvic pain. “These are intimate problems that many patients deal with for years before reluctantly seeking help,” saidDr. Kevin Benson,a board-certified urogynecologist at Sanford Health. “A big part of our job is letting women know they’re not alone and that there are effective options to fix these problems. ”Advanced treatment that feels personalCare at Sanford Health follows an integrative approach that prioritizes each patient’s goals and lifestyle. Treatment options include behavioral care, medications and physical therapy, as well as minimally invasive surgery for incontinence or prolapse. Many concerns can be resolved the same day, and patients can get back to their life quickly. Research is a key pillar of care at Sanford Urogynecology & Pelvic Surgery Clinic. Patients may have access to many clinical trials that introduce technologies and devices often before they are available elsewhere. “We’ve done over 25 clinical studies here,” Benson said. “Some of our studies have resulted in FDA approval of devices that are now used worldwide. ”The clinic is nationally recognized for its expertise in performing surgical and chemical neuromodulation, a technology that helps with bladder and bowel control. Sanford Health is one of just a few Centers of Excellence for Neuromodulation in the country. The clinic also is known for its success with other minimally invasive procedures such as sling surgery and Botox injections, both of which help with bladder control. Team-based care with compassion at the coreBecause pelvic floor issues are deeply personal, the patient experience is central to the care philosophy. “Pelvic floor disorders are intimate problems,” Benson said. “So our goal is to provide understanding and create a personal experience that answers questions and leads to solutions. ”In addition to Benson, patients are supported by a fully integrated team that includes nurse practitioners, trained nurses, physical therapists and research coordinators. “The idea is when you come here, you will receive cutting-edge care and don’t have to travel elsewhere to get what you need,” Benson said. “It’s all available here. ”If someone’s symptoms are interfering with their day-to-day activities, it may be time to seek specialized care.
