After completing a residency program in Obstetrics & Gynecology, urogynecologists undergo fellowship training, spending several years focusing only on these disorders.

Some problems due to Pelvic Floor Dysfunction include:

1. Incontinence: loss of bladder or bowel control
2. Prolapse: descent of pelvic organs (dropped uterus, bladder or vagina)
3. Emptying disorders: difficulty urinating or moving bowels
4. Overactive bladder: frequent need to void, bladder pressure, urgency incontinence or difficulty holding back a full bladder
