102. Bladder sling surgery for incontinence with Urogynecologist, Dr. Sarah Boyles

The Pelvic Floor Project

In this episode I discuss with Board Certified Urogynecologist, Dr. Sarah Boyles:

• Types of incontinence
• Typical patient flow through medical system
• Impact of incontinence on quality of life
• Reasons why incontinence may develop
• What you can expect at a urogynecology appointment
• Treatment options (pessary, physio, bulking agents, compression, surgery)
• Description of surgical options
• Surgical risks
• Post operative instructions
• How effective are bladder slings?

Sarah Boyles is a board certified urogynecologist (FPMRS) with more than 15 years of clinical experience treating women with pelvic floor issues. She attended medical school at the University of Pittsburgh followed by residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology at The Ohio State University. She then completed a 3 year fellowship in Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery at Oregon Health & Science University. She has published extensively in her field and has been active in creating Quality Standards nationally through the American Urogynecologic Society. She has been a “Top Doc” In Portland every year for the last 7 years and loves her clinical practice.

She is passionate about educating women on their pelvic floor and especially urinary incontinence. Over the pandemic, she began creating evidence-based content for women that is easy to obtain outside the doctor’s office. Her goal is to help women understand why they are leaking and recognize the spectrum of available and proven treatment options. Her more recent work, including her YouTube channel and podcast, focus on helping women improve their bladder function while they are waiting to be seen by a specialist. Look for her new membership, which will provide detailed reviews on available incontinence products as well as a community and support, to open later this summer.
