WOMEN'S UROLOGY IN BOULDER, CO
State of the art evaluation and treatment for all female bladder issues including leakage, infections, and pelvic pain
ADVANCED TREATMENT OPTIONS FOR WOMEN
Modern Urology delivers state of the art urologic care to empower Boulder women and promote healthy futures. Dr. Carolyn Fronczak understands that bladder leakage, recurrent infections, and pelvic pain significantly impact your daily life, relationships, and confidence. You deserve solutions that work, not just temporary fixes or dismissive advice to accept these problems as normal aging.
Our approach combines conservative treatments with advanced interventions, always starting with the least invasive options. We believe in pelvic floor physical therapy with expert therapists, behavioral modifications, and topical vaginal estrogen as first line treatments. When these conservative measures aren’t sufficient, we offer cutting edge procedures including bladder botox, posterior tibial nerve stimulation, sacral neuromodulation, Bulkamid injections, and midurethral sling surgery for lasting relief.

- Pelvic floor physical therapy with specialized therapists
- Topical vaginal estrogen to restore healthy tissue
- Behavioral modifications and lifestyle interventions
- Bladder instillations for pain management
Advanced Interventional Procedures
- Botox for bladder to reduce urgency and frequency
- Posterior tibial nerve stimulation for overactive bladder
- Sacral neuromodulation for comprehensive bladder control
- Bulkamid and midurethral sling for stress incontinence
Understanding Women's Urologic Health
Women face unique urologic challenges throughout their lives, from childbirth effects to hormonal changes during menopause. At Modern Urology, we recognize that bladder leakage at any age is never normal and should not be accepted as just part of life or aging. Incontinence significantly impacts quality of life. Managing leakage with pads is expensive and embarrassing, affecting your ability to exercise, socialize, and enjoy intimacy.
Recurrent urinary tract infections happen for specific reasons including bladder dysfunction, kidney stones, poor vaginal tissue health, constipation, and inadequate fluid intake. Our goal is stopping these infections from recurring, not simply treating each one with more antibiotics. We perform thorough evaluations to identify root causes and create customized prevention plans.
Bladder pain syndrome, also called interstitial cystitis, affects both women and men but is more common in women. This chronic condition causes pelvic pain, urinary urgency, and frequency that disrupts daily activities. Modern Urology offers multiple treatment approaches including specialized physical therapy, pain suppositories, bladder instillations, and cystoscopy to evaluate and treat bladder ulcers. We also participate in clinical trials for bladder pain, giving our patients access to emerging therapies.
Our Patient Centered Philosophy
The Modern Urology team partners with every woman we treat. We listen carefully to your concerns, include you fully in decision making, and educate you thoroughly about your condition. This collaborative approach leads to finding the root cause of urologic problems and achieving lasting solutions that prevent future issues.
Whether you need conservative management or surgical intervention, we customize your treatment plan based on your specific situation, goals, and preferences. Our board certified urologist has significant experience providing both medical and surgical treatments for all types of female urologic conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Women's Urology
What can I expect during my first appointment for bladder leakage?
Your initial visit includes a detailed conversation about your symptoms, medical history, childbirth history if applicable, and how leakage affects your daily life. Dr. Fronczak creates a judgment free environment where you can discuss sensitive issues openly. Depending on your situation, you may have a physical examination, bladder ultrasound to check for complete emptying, or urinalysis performed in our office. We explain everything before proceeding and develop a customized treatment plan based on the type of incontinence you’re experiencing, whether stress incontinence, overactive bladder, or mixed incontinence.
How effective is pelvic floor physical therapy for urinary incontinence?
Pelvic floor physical therapy is highly effective for many women with stress urinary incontinence and can significantly reduce or eliminate leakage. Working with specialized pelvic floor therapists, women learn to properly strengthen and coordinate pelvic muscles that support the bladder and urethra. Modern Urology has identified well trained pelvic floor physical therapists throughout the Boulder area, and we work closely with these professionals to achieve the best outcomes. Physical therapy works particularly well when combined with other conservative treatments like topical vaginal estrogen and behavioral modifications.
Why do I keep getting urinary tract infections?
Recurrent urinary tract infections occur for specific reasons that we identify through thorough evaluation. Common causes include incomplete bladder emptying, kidney stones, vaginal tissue changes from low estrogen, chronic constipation, inadequate fluid intake, and anatomical factors. Rather than simply prescribing more antibiotics each time, we investigate the root cause and create a prevention plan tailored to your situation. This may include topical vaginal estrogen to restore healthy tissue, bladder emptying strategies, dietary changes, or treating underlying bladder dysfunction. Our goal is stopping the infection cycle permanently.
What is the difference between stress incontinence and overactive bladder?
Stress urinary incontinence means leakage occurs with physical activity like coughing, laughing, sneezing, running, or lifting. This happens when weakened pelvic support allows the urethra to open during pressure increases. Overactive bladder involves sudden urgent needs to urinate, frequent bathroom trips, and sometimes urge incontinence where you leak before reaching the toilet. Many women have mixed incontinence with both types occurring together. The treatments differ significantly, which is why accurate diagnosis is essential. Modern Urology specializes in determining exactly which type you have and customizing treatment accordingly.
Does Modern Urology accept insurance for women’s urology services?
Yes, Modern Urology accepts most major insurance plans including Medicare, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Aetna, and UnitedHealthcare. We’re affiliated with Saint Anthony North and UC Health Broomfield hospital systems. Contact our office before your appointment to verify your specific coverage and understand any out of pocket costs. Our team helps you navigate insurance questions so financial concerns don’t prevent you from getting the urologic care you need.
