What Does a Pelvic Floor Specialist Treat?
A pelvic floor specialist, or urogynecologist, treats problems with the bladder, bowel control and pelvic organ support in women. These include leakage, urgency, prolapse, recurrent bladder infections, bladder and pelvic pain, postpartum pelvic floor problems, menopause-related changes and complications from earlier pelvic surgery.
| Concern | Common symptoms | Learn more |
|---|---|---|
| Stress incontinence | Leaking with coughing, sneezing, exercise | Why you leak when you sneeze |
| Overactive bladder | Urgency, frequency, waking at night | Botox vs Axonics |
| Pelvic organ prolapse | Vaginal bulge, pressure, heaviness | Vaginal bulge and prolapse stages |
| Bladder pain and IC | Burning, pressure, negative urine cultures | Constant urge with negative UTI tests |
| Postpartum pelvic floor | Leaks, heaviness, painful sex after birth | Postpartum pelvic floor therapy |
| Menopause changes (GSM) | Dryness, painful sex, recurring UTIs | Genitourinary syndrome of menopause |
| Mesh complications | Pain, bleeding, discharge after mesh | Mesh warning signs and revision |
How Is a Urogynecologist Different From My Gynecologist?
A urogynecologist has three extra years of fellowship training and a separate board certification focused on the female bladder and pelvic floor. Your gynecologist handles reproductive care and first-line bladder care; a urogynecologist is the next step when symptoms persist, prolapse is present, or surgery has been suggested.
Dr. Elshatanoufy is board-certified in both general obstetrics and gynecology and in urogynecology and reconstructive pelvic surgery, so gynecologic and pelvic floor concerns can be handled in one practice. Read the full comparison: gynecologist vs urogynecologist.
What Is Different About an Integrated Pelvic Floor Practice?
In an integrated practice, the physician, nurse practitioner and pelvic floor physical therapist work in one office and share one plan. Testing is done on site, therapy is coordinated with medical treatment, and you do not have to repeat your story to separate offices across town.
Dr. Solafa Elshatanoufy, MD, PharmD
Board-certified OB/GYN and urogynecologist with a Doctor of Pharmacy degree. Fellowship at Wayne State University. Affiliated with Memorial Hermann Northwest Hospital.
Oyindamola Gbadamosi, FNP
Board-certified family nurse practitioner for follow-up, hormone therapy and ongoing care.
Sonya Asghari, PT
Licensed pelvic floor physical therapist for strengthening, relaxation and return to activity.
From a pharmacist’s point of view: many bladder and menopause treatments are medicines, and some everyday prescriptions worsen leakage or urgency. Having a physician who also holds a Doctor of Pharmacy degree means your full medication list is reviewed as part of your care, not just the bladder prescription.

What Happens at the First Visit?
Your first visit is a conversation, a gentle focused exam and, if needed, simple office tests. Bring your ID, insurance card, a list of medications and any prior test results or surgical records. A 2 to 3 day bladder diary is very helpful. You leave with a clear explanation and a plan.
- Your story: symptoms, deliveries, surgeries and what matters most to you.
- A gentle exam: focused on support, muscles and tissue.
- Office tests if needed: urine test, bladder scan, and sometimes urodynamics.
- Your plan: options from least to most invasive, explained clearly.
When to seek immediate medical evaluation
- You cannot urinate, or your bladder is full and painful
- Fever, chills or back pain with urinary symptoms
- Heavy bleeding, or bleeding after menopause
- A prolapse that is painful, swollen and will not go back in
Go to an emergency room or call 911 in an emergency.
