About Urology Specialists
Dr. Wood Thum is a urologist who also trained in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery. She sees women in Sioux Falls for prolapse, urinary incontinence and fistulas. Her own page says she also does hormone therapy evaluation and management, which is unusual for a urologist. That makes her a good fit if menopause shows up as bladder or pelvic floor trouble. She works in a large urology group with offices across South Dakota, Minnesota and Iowa, and she teaches at the Sanford USD medical school.
