Core Tip The true value of this study highlights the finding that half of the patients sent for subspecialist (urogynecologic) evaluation did not receive any treatment from primary care physicians and specialists (obstetricians and gynecologists) prior to the referral. This suggests that there is a potential paucity of knowledge about non-invasive therapy options available for pelvic floor disorders. This leaves room for education about these disorders, whether during residency training or through certification examinations. This could result in decreased healthcare costs and morbidities associated with surgical procedures.
