Women’s Urologic Conditions Topic of Seminar - CANCELLED Due to Weather
February 01, 2010
Urologists Daniel Culkin, M.D., and Gennady Slobodov, M.D., will present a seminar on women's health conditions, Thursday, February 4, in Oklahoma City.
One in three women over age 45 suffer from urinary incontinence (the inability to control urination) and more than 30 million women have experienced prolapse, a condition where the pelvic floor muscles weaken causing the vagina to bulge, protrude or feel like it is out of place. Even though millions are affected by these conditions, studies show that women are reluctant to discuss it, even with a doctor.
Culkin and Slobodov will discuss new treatment options for women who have experienced urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse. The doctors see patients through OU Physicians Urology. Culkin is chairman of the department of urology at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine. Slobodov is chief of the section of female urology and reconstruction.
This program is offered at no cost to participants and is open to anyone interested. Refreshments will be served.
The presentation will be held at 6:30 p.m., at Presbyterian Health Foundation Conference Center, 655 Research Parkway, Suite 100 (Lincoln Blvd., between N.E. 4th & N.E. 10th Streets). Since seating is limited, please call (800) 466-5595 for reservations.
The doctors see patients in Oklahoma City, Edmond and Ada. For an appointment with any of the board-certified urologists at OU Physicians Urology, call (405) 271-6452.
With more than 475 doctors, OU Physicians is the state's largest physician group. The practice encompasses almost every adult and child specialty. Many OU Physicians have expertise in the management of complex conditions that is unavailable anywhere else in the state, region or sometimes even the nation. Some have pioneered surgical procedures or innovations in patient care that are world firsts.
OU Physicians see patients in their offices at the OU Health Sciences Center and in Edmond, Enid and other cities around Oklahoma. When hospitalization is necessary, they often admit patients to OU Medical Center. Many also care for their patients in other hospitals around the metro area. OU Physicians serve as faculty at the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine and train the region's future physicians.
