ABOUT DR. TIBON

A Physician Who Listens

As a native of Northwest Arkansas, Dr. Jasmine Tibon, MD, FACOG brings both personal roots and world-class training to her patients at Mercy Clinic in Rogers, AR. She completed her fellowship in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery at UT Health San Antonio — one of the country’s premier training programs — following her OB/GYN residency at the University of Missouri-Kansas City.

Urogynecology sits at a unique intersection: conditions that are common, yet rarely discussed. Dr. Tibon’s mission is to change that. She creates a space where women feel heard, informed, and empowered to choose treatment that fits their lives — not the other way around.

“These conditions are common yet frequently underdiscussed. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where women feel heard, informed, and empowered.”

PELVIC HEALTH EDUCATION

Understanding Pelvic Floor Conditions

Pelvic floor disorders affect 1 in 3 women. Here’s what you should know.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse

When pelvic organs shift from their normal position, causing pressure, discomfort, or a sensation of bulging. Both surgical and non-surgical treatment options exist.

Non-Surgical Options
  • Pelvic floor physical therapy
  • Pessary fitting (removable support device)
  • Lifestyle & bowel-habit changes
  • Watchful waiting with regular monitoring
Surgical Options
  • Native tissue vaginal repair
  • Minimally invasive sacrocolpopexy (laparoscopic or robotic-assisted)
  • Colpocleisis, an option for select patients
Treatment Options ▾

Urinary Incontinence

Stress incontinence, urgency incontinence, or mixed. Effective treatments range from pelvic floor therapy to minimally invasive procedures.

Non-Surgical Options
  • Pelvic floor physical therapy
  • Bladder training & lifestyle changes
  • Incontinence pessary
  • Medications for urgency-type leakage
Surgical Options
  • Midurethral sling
  • Urethral bulking injections
  • Bladder Botox or nerve stimulation for urgency incontinence
Treatment Options ▾

Fecal Incontinence

A condition that profoundly impacts quality of life and is rarely discussed. Compassionate, evidence-based evaluation and treatment can make a meaningful difference.

Non-Surgical Options
  • Dietary & fiber management
  • Bowel-regimen medications
  • Pelvic floor physical therapy with biofeedback
Surgical Options
  • Sacral neuromodulation (a “pacemaker” for bowel control)
  • Anal sphincter repair (sphincteroplasty)
Treatment Options ▾

Bladder Health & Overactive Bladder

Frequent urination, urgency, and nocturia. An active area of urogynecologic research and one of Dr. Tibon’s focus areas.

Non-Surgical Options
  • Bladder training & fluid management
  • Pelvic floor physical therapy
  • Medications to calm the bladder
Surgical & Procedural Options
  • Bladder Botox injections
  • Tibial nerve stimulation (PTNS)
  • Sacral neuromodulation
Treatment Options ▾

Reconstructive Pelvic Surgery

Fellowship-trained minimally invasive surgery with the goal of restoring function and confidence.

Non-Surgical Options
  • Surgery is never the starting point — therapy, pessaries, and medications are always explored first
Surgical Options
  • Vaginal, laparoscopic & robotic-assisted repair
  • Prolapse & incontinence procedures
  • Outpatient, minimally invasive techniques whenever possible
Treatment Options ▾

Holistic Pelvic Care

Behavioral changes, physical therapy, pessaries, medications — the full spectrum of non-surgical options.

Non-Surgical Options
  • Behavioral & lifestyle modification
  • Pelvic floor physical therapy
  • Pessary fitting & care
  • Medication management
Surgical Options
  • When conservative care isn’t enough, the full range of surgical options is available — always your choice
Treatment Options ▾

An educational overview, not medical advice — your treatment plan is always individualized with Dr. Tibon at your visit.

YOUR JOURNEY

What to Expect

From your first visit to life after treatment — what the process looks like.

1

Your First Appointment

We start with a conversation. Dr. Tibon will listen to your full story — your symptoms, how long they’ve been happening, and how they affect your daily life. No rushing, no judgment.

2

Understanding Your Diagnosis

Dr. Tibon will explain exactly what’s happening and why, in plain language. You’ll have time to ask questions. If additional testing is needed, she’ll explain what it involves.

3

Exploring Your Options

You’ll receive a full overview of treatment options — non-surgical first whenever appropriate. Nothing happens without your full understanding and consent.

4

Beginning Treatment

Whether pelvic floor physical therapy, a pessary fitting, or a minimally invasive procedure — your care plan is built around you. Dr. Tibon will be with you every step of the way.

5

Life After Treatment

Follow-up care, long-term pelvic health maintenance, and an open door to return anytime. Many patients describe this stage simply as: feeling like themselves again.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

A urogynecologist is a physician who specializes in disorders of the female pelvic floor — the muscles, ligaments, and tissues that support the bladder, uterus, and rectum. Dr. Tibon completed a specialized fellowship in Female Pelvic Medicine and Reconstructive Surgery (FPMRS) after her OB/GYN residency, giving her advanced expertise in both the medical and surgical management of these conditions.
Leakage is common — but “common” doesn’t mean you have to live with it. Urinary incontinence is highly treatable, and many women find significant or complete relief with the right intervention.
Prolapse occurs when one or more pelvic organs (the bladder, uterus, or rectum) shift from their normal position due to weakening of the supporting structures. Symptoms include pressure, bulging, or a sensation that something is “falling out.” It affects roughly 1 in 4 women over 40.
Not necessarily — and Dr. Tibon always explores non-surgical options first. Pelvic floor physical therapy, pessaries (removable support devices), behavioral modifications, and medications can all be highly effective. Surgery is one option among many, chosen only when it’s right for you.
A pessary is a small, removable silicone device placed in the vagina to support pelvic organs. It’s a non-surgical option for prolapse and some types of incontinence. Many women use pessaries long-term with great success.
Urodynamic testing assesses how your bladder and urethra are functioning. It typically involves filling the bladder and measuring pressures while you perform certain activities. Not everyone needs this — Dr. Tibon will recommend it only when it will meaningfully guide your treatment plan.
It depends on the condition and the individual. Some conditions are stable for years; others can progress. The bigger concern is quality of life — many women restrict activities, exercise, travel, and social life unnecessarily because they don’t know effective treatment exists.
Dr. Tibon has created her practice specifically to address this. She understands these topics are difficult to discuss and approaches every appointment with patience and zero judgment. Many patients say the first appointment was easier than they expected — and life-changing.
Dr. Tibon accepts Medicare, Aetna, Humana, Cigna, Anthem BlueCross BlueShield, Arkansas Health & Wellness (formerly NovaSys Health), and many other major plans. Please call the office at (479) 271-7077 to confirm your specific plan.
Stress incontinence is leakage that occurs with physical activity — coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercise — due to pressure on the bladder. Urgency incontinence involves a sudden, strong urge to urinate that’s difficult to control, often resulting in leakage before reaching the restroom. Many women have a mix of both (mixed incontinence). Each type has different treatment approaches.
Absolutely. While pelvic floor disorders are more common with age, they can affect women of all ages — particularly after pregnancy and childbirth. Dr. Tibon treats women across the full age spectrum.
