Patient Testimonials
I am forever grateful for Dr. Jaenicke and his team at Bellefonte Womens Care for their dedication and passion in helping me regain a sense of normalcy in my life. Thank you!
I was quite ill when I first visited his office and wasn’t sure what to expect. Dr. Jaenicke was friendly, professional, and very informative. I left feeling very confident that I would receive the best care possible…and I truly did!
Dr. Jaenicke discussed treatment options and possible outcomes and complications of treatment with my husband and me. He answered all of our questions and we decided that the best option for me would be surgery. … I am five weeks post-op and feel great! Dr. Jaenicke and his office staff have went above and beyond to care for me.
I am forever grateful to Dr. Jaenicke, his staff, Bellefonte hospital and all the nurses that took such good care of me throughout this entire process. Thank you for giving my life back!
I received great compassion and care from Dr. Jaenicke and the staff at Bellefonte Women’s Center. I felt amazing in a mere 2 weeks post-surgery. I highly recommend Dr. Jaenicke and the staff at BWC for any gynecological procedure.

Common Questions
Below is a list of common questions that is meant to help educate you on urogynecology and gynecology issues.
Inflammation or irritation of the bladder wall, causing chronic pain, stiffening and scarring of the bladder, a decrease in the amount of urine the bladder can hold, painful sexual intercourse and a frequent need to urinate. About 90 percent of people who get IC are women.
A urinary tract infection occurs when E. coli bacteria grow in the urethra and travel to the bladder. Symptoms include a burning sensation when urinating, the urge to urinate without much result, cloudy or reddish urine, smelly urine, a feeling of fullness or pressure above the pubic bone and general malaise.
Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (Urogynecology) is a subspecialty within Obstetrics and Gynecology that focuses on disorders of the female pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is the system of muscles, ligaments and tissues that support the bladder, urethra, uterus, vagina, small bowel and rectum in the pelvic area.
No, urinary incontinence is a symptom. This means one or more other problems cause urinary leakage. Some common bladder and pelvic floor disorders are Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP), urinary tract infections, interstitial cystitis (IC) and bladder tumors and cancer.
The National Institute of Health estimates one in three women — twice as many women as men — will experience some type of urinary incontinence in their lifetime.
Stress incontinence occurs when pelvic muscles have been damaged, causing the bladder to leak during exercise, coughing, sneezing, laughing, or any body movement that puts pressure on the bladder.
Urge incontinence, the urgent need to pass urine and the inability to get to the toilet in time, occurs when nerve passages along the pathway from the bladder to the brain are damaged, causing a sudden bladder contraction that cannot be consciously inhibited.
Overflow incontinence refers to leakage that occurs when the quantity of urine produced exceeds the bladder’s holding capacity.
The bulging, sagging or falling of pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, rectum, intestine). Prolapse develops slowly, so symptoms may be mild and vague at first, such as pain during sexual intercourse or inability to hold in a tampon. As prolapse progresses symptoms may develop into a feeling that something is protruding from the vagina, a heavy sensation in the vagina or an inability to urinate or have a bowel movement without inserting the fingers into the vagina.
