Gynecology Surgery

Gynecology Surgery

As a woman, you may need surgery on the female pelvic region at some point in your life. Gynecology surgery can include procedures on the cervix, uterus, ovaries, vagina, vulva, or fallopian tubes. You might also have bladder issues that can be resolved with gynecology surgery.

A quality Lifeline Medical Associates women’s healthcare provider can help you better understand the type of surgery that is best for you in your situation. The physician will also answer any questions you may have and will fully explain all the benefits and risks of the recommended gynecology surgery.

Types of gynecology surgeries

You may need surgery for fibroids, ovarian cysts, pelvic inflammatory disease, uterine prolapse, endometriosis, or abnormal bleeding. Some of the types of surgery your physician may recommend include:

  • Hysterectomy: A surgery to remove the uterus, a hysterectomy might be recommended for you if you have fibroid-related bleeding or pressure. A total hysterectomy removes the entire uterus, including the cervix. Removal of the upper part of the uterus is called a supra-cervical hysterectomy.
  • Myomectomy: This surgery removes uterine fibroids that may be causing you problems, but it keeps the uterus itself intact.
  • Colposcopy:If your physician discovers issues, such as abnormal cells, during your pelvic exam or Pap test, they may recommend this procedure which will enable them to see changes in your vaginal and cervical tissues.
  • Bladder support surgery: This type of surgery is performed to improve support for the bladder and for the valve mechanism at the bladder neck. A cystoscopy will enable the surgeon to see inside your urinary tract to check for stones, growths, or other issues.

Gynecology surgery may also be recommended for treatment of cancers that affect women, including ovarian, uterine, and cervical cancer.

Patient Reviews

Overall patient rating for Lifeline Medical Associates:

Hysteroscopy

Dr. Sarma is always very comforting and reassuring, especially when procedures can be both uncomfortable and uneasy. She explains everything she’s doing as she does it. She has such a calmness about her that instantly puts me at ease when I’m so nervous.

Virtual Visit / Telemedicine

The Lab had found a small mass on my right breast and Amy was unaware that I was even offered a sonogram of the breast. That was disheartening. She was more intent on getting me to take fosamax for my bones, which I can never take because my stomach is so sensitive due to Rheumatoid Arthritis with a Psoariatic component. I had originally related all this in my Doctor's Profile for me. I even told her my arthritis doctor's (Rheimatologist) name.

The office staff were polite and the office was clean. Dr. Bowers examined me and answered all my questions. She made me feel at ease during my exam.

Both the NP and ultra sound tech were professional, compassionate and answered my questions clearly.

Nice office, nice doctor, efficient, polite, kind, and skilled

IUD Insertion / Removal

Dr. Steer is always extremely thorough, caring, and knowledgable. He delivered my second child as well, as as someone who had a traumatic birth experience with her first, I can say he made delivering my second the experience every birthing person should have and deserves. With the way women's heath care is today, it's extremely reassuring to have a doctor who listens and understands your whole picture as a patient.

This was the first time I was meeting Grace. From the moment she walked in until the moment my visit was over, Grace was extremely thorough, compassionate and caring. She made sure to get a full history and understanding of my issue, and even asked questions that prompted me to think about some other issues I have been having, but has never been resolved during past visits. I highly highly recommend Grace and will be switching to her service moving forward.
