Welcome
Zipper Urogynecology Associates is one of the leading centers for the treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction, overactive bladder and incontinence.
Dr. Ralph Zipper and Dr. Marja Sprock are nationally-recognized urogynecologists who specialize in the care of women with Pelvic Floor Dysfunction. The Pelvic Floor is the muscles, ligaments, connective tissue, and nerves that help support and control the rectum, uterus, vagina, and bladder. The pelvic floor can be damaged by childbirth, repeated heavy lifting, chronic disease or surgery.
Some problems due to Pelvic Floor Dysfunction and their symptoms are:
- Incontinence: Loss of bladder control, leakage of urine
- Prolapse: Descent of pelvic organs; a bulge and/or pressure; dropped uterus, bladder, vagina or rectum.
- Emptying Disorders: difficulty urinating
- Pelvic (or Bladder) Pain: Discomfort, burning or other uncomfortable pelvic symptoms, including bladder or urethral pain.
- Overactive Bladder: Frequent need to urinate, bladder pressure, urgency, urgency incontinence or difficulty holding back a full bladder.
If you are experiencing any of these systems, we encourage you to contact Zipper Urogynecology Associates to discuss a wide variety of surgical and non-surgical options.
