For many women, a weak bladder, pelvic pain or other pelvic conditions can be embarrassing and isolating problems — but they are also very common.
More than 25 million American women have experienced pelvic health issues, which can arise from many sources, including pregnancy, childbirth, injury, illness and the natural progression of menopause and aging.
Fortunately there is also a wide variety of treatments available. Swedish Covenant Hospital is committed to providing advanced care for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of pelvic health conditions affecting women in Chicago and throughout the Midwest.
Dr. Shameem Abbasy, a urogynecologist at Swedish Covenant Hospital is a leader in her field, which combines gynecology and urology, treating women's reproductive systems as well as conditions affecting the urinary tract. She can help you address the full range of gynecologic and urogynecologic conditions, including:
- Urinary incontinence
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- Pelvic pain
- Complications related to menopause

If you have questions or concerns about any of these conditions, make an appointment with Dr. Abassy. She will work with the staff at the hospital and Galter LifeCenter to determine the services which will address your individual needs, and guide you through the appropriate treatment plan.
