Many women suffer in silence from conditions like incontinence, pain, heavy bleeding or pressure from prolapsed organs. New treatments can relieve these symptoms quickly, with little disruption or recovery time – sometimes in less than 15 minutes. We use new minimally invasive techniques to give life-changing relief from symptoms. You can be
comfortable talking with our women’s health care professionals about your problems. We’ll answer your questions and help you choose a treatment that fits your life.
Incontinence – A woman may have one or more causes of urine leakage. A careful diagnosis using the latest technology helps us pinpoint the right treatment for each case. Treatments range from medications, exercise, biofeedback and physical therapy to effective new minor surgical solutions that have a high success rate for some types of incontinence.
Pelvic organ prolapse – Pressure, incontinence and other problems caused by the “falling” of internal organs can be corrected with non-surgical methods in minor cases. For more severe cases, new minimally invasive surgical techniques reposition and support organs with a very short recovery time and less chance of recurrence.
Bleeding problems – A careful diagnosis will determine the best treatment plan. Hormone therapy helps some women, and a new incision-free procedure that treats the uterine lining with heat is effective for many.
“Band-aid” hysterectomy – Sometimes hysterectomy is the best solution to women’s pelvic problems. The latest options are available at River Falls Area Hospital, including laparoscopic techniques that only require band-aids on the tiny incisions. Hysterectomies are “customized” to solve your problems effectively with the shortest possible hospital stay and recovery.
Our women’s health care team includes family medicine doctors, nurse practitioners, physical therapists, general surgeons and an OB/GYN who work together for your health. You choose your health care professional and get the personal care and attention you need, with the additional expertise of a full-time OB/GYN.
