Common GYN Conditions

One surgery often used for incontinence or pelvic prolapse involving the bladder and urethra is trans-vaginal tape (or TVT), also called mesh surgery. In this surgery, your doctor places a mesh tape that acts like a sling to hold your urethra in its normal position, providing support to eliminate the accidental release of urine. The surgery is performed through tiny incisions in your abdomen and vaginal wall, through robot-assisted or laparoscopic procedures. This surgery takes only about 30 minutes and often can be done on an outpatient basis. Following surgery, you may or may not need a catheter for a short time to assist with urination. Recovery typically takes only a week or two, but you’ll likely be advised to avoid intercourse for about six weeks following the procedure.

Dr. Miller is my doctor and I can't say enough good about her and any of the staff I have interacted with. I highly recommend them.

I love Dr. Brown. Hands down, she is an Angel on Earth. I literally would not be here today without her. She always tells me exactly what I need to hear, she stands up for her patients, and has believed in me when I don’t believe in myself. Woman’s health isn’t just gynecological. It’s mental. It’s having someone there to hold your hand when you’re alone. And Dr. Brown continues to hold my hand and I can’t thank her enough. I will forever be indebted to her and will love her forever. I will miss her incredibly and deeply when she retires. Thank you Dr. Brown, for everything. -Tiffany Enriquez
