About Urogynecology Center NoVa
Dr. Canter opened Urogynecology Center NoVa in Reston in 2016, after more than twenty years in practice in Northern Virginia. She is board certified both in urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery and in obstetrics and gynecology, and the practice says she was one of the first surgeons in the country to hold both. The practice is built around bladder, bowel and pelvic floor problems, so she treats urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, fecal incontinence, prolapse and urinary retention. Treatment runs from bladder training and pessary fitting to in office bladder Botox, nerve stimulation and sling or prolapse surgery. The office also runs an Emsella chair, which a patient sits in fully clothed twice a week for three weeks. Her site does not describe hormone therapy or menopause symptom care, and its one hormone mention is low dose vaginal estrogen among the options listed for overactive bladder.
