Urogynecology is the science where a gynecologist is specializing to the problems of urine incontinence, vaginal prolapse (cystocele, rectocele) and generally the pelvic floor diseases.
As urogynecology is, essentially, a surgical subspecialty of Obstetrics and Gynecology. The gynecologist’s have the ability to diagnose, find the cause and finally cure the existing problem.
Many of the common problems that women face usually are not curing, because they – unfortunately – decide by themselves not to deal with them. The reasons vary: either because of fear, shame or both. In fact, statistically we can mention that one out of two women at some point in their lives, will present a problem of health that is related to the pelvic organs.

- Hyperactivity or less activity of the muscles of the bladder
