Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)



1. What is a Urogynecologist?

A urogynecologist is a doctor with extra training in fixing problems with the pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is the group of muscles that holds up your bladder and other pelvic organs. We are experts in treating issues like bladder leakage and prolapse.



2. What is pelvic organ prolapse?

Prolapse is when the muscles that support your pelvic organs get weak, causing organs like the bladder or uterus to "drop" or create a bulge. It can feel like pressure or like "something is falling out." It's a very common and treatable problem.



3. What is the difference between stress and urge incontinence?

These are the two main types of bladder leakage:




  • Stress Incontinence: Leaking when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or exercise.

  • Urge Incontinence: A sudden "gotta go" feeling, followed by a leak before you can make it to the bathroom.



4. Do I have to have surgery for my condition?

No, not always. We always start with simple treatments first, like special exercises (physical therapy) or other non-surgical options. We only recommend surgery if those other treatments don't solve the problem.



5. How can I schedule an appointment with Dr. Fromer?

You can schedule an appointment with Dr. Fromer by calling one of her offices in Hackensack or North Bergen.
