Some issues April Anne Duran, PAC can help you with:

Biopsy

A biopsy is a procedure performed to remove a small sample of cells for testing. The cells are examined in a laboratory to check for disease, or sometimes to see how badly a known disease is affecting them. Biopsy can be performed on any part of the body.

Although biopsy is most often associated with cancer, it can also be used to check for other diseases, such as infections. A biopsy sample can be scraped, cut, collected with a needle, taken with a machine that punches out a tiny piece, or removed with the tiny tools in an endoscope.

In most cases, a biopsy is a simple outpatient procedure. Depending on the procedure, patients may need to stop taking certain medications beforehand, such as blood thinners. It is important for patients to tell doctors if they are pregnant, as certain biopsies require the use of x-rays to guide the needle to the right location. There is usually very little pain associated with a biopsy. Patients will have to wait a few days to hear the results.

Pessary

A pessary is a device that is inserted into the vagina to relieve symptoms associated with mild to moderate pelvic organ prolapse, a condition in which the womb, bladder, or rectum bulges into the vaginal canal. This device is made of either rubber or plastic and is a safe, nonsurgical way to provide support for prolapsed organs.

Pessaries come in different shapes and sizes, and finding the right one can take some trial and error. Before a pessary fitting, patients will be examined and evaluated based on prolapse-related symptoms they may be experiencing, which may include discomfort, urine leakage when sneezing or coughing, and trouble keeping tampons in.

The following tips can help guide the process of finding the right fit:

Once in place, patients should not be able to feel the device at all. If there is even slight pressure, patients should let their healthcare provider know, and she will find a pessary of a different size or shape.
The pessary should not fall out with sneezing, coughing, jumping, or squatting. While getting fitted, patients should try jumping or squatting to see if the device will fall out. If it does, a different pessary will be inserted until they find one that stays in place.
Patients and their healthcare providers should make sure the device is improving symptoms by having a check-up 5 to 15 days after it is inserted. If there is no improvement, patients may have to be re-fitted with a different pessary, or patients may be asked to consider surgical options.

The device should be kept clean to avoid issues like vaginal odor, discharge, or irritation. To clean a pessary, it must be taken out and washed with soap and water. Healthcare providers will instruct patients on how to remove and reinsert the device. If patients are unable to do this on their own, they will need to get it done at the doctor's office at least once every two months.

Stress Urinary Incontinence

Stress urinary incontinence is a disorder in which the bladder leaks urine during activities that require exertion, such as lifting, laughing, coughing, and sneezing. Leakage occurs because the muscles responsible for holding urine have become weak. This type of incontinence will affect about one in three women at some point in their lives. It is particularly prevalent in women who have given birth vaginally, have been pregnant, are extremely overweight, or are in menopause. Although more women than men suffer from stress incontinence, men who have had prostate surgery are also at risk of developing this condition.

Treatments vary based on the severity of the incontinence. Mild to moderate leakage may be controlled by doing pelvic floor exercises, avoiding foods that can irritate the bladder, or taking medication. For severe incontinence, however, surgery may be necessary. The most common procedures for stress urinary incontinence are bladder suspension, artificial urinary sphincter surgery, and sling surgery.

Each of these procedures takes about an hour to an hour and a half. Patients will likely wake up with a catheter, a tube that drains urine, as swelling after surgery makes it difficult to urinate. Taking slow, short walks to keep the blood flow moving is usually encouraged within hours of the surgery. Although patients may return to work within seven to ten days after certain procedures, strenuous activities such as running and working out are not recommended for at least four to six weeks. In addition, patients should avoid lifting objects over 15 pounds for three months after any of these operations.

April Duran was excellent. She addressed my questions about my medical conditions in a caring, complete, and professional manner. In fact, this made my emotions rise to the surface since in my previous few visits with a doctor at associated physicians for women, the answers I got, we're along the lines of," you are just getting to be that age" or " the tissue is atrophied."Physicians assistant, April, Duran, gave me information pertinent to my auto immune condition, explained what medicine, and why I should be taking it, she explained the damage to my vaginal region and labia that she was seeing. She gave specifics, not just the tissue is atrophied. She told me what to watch out for. She told me I should come back at least once a year to check on the progress. I had stopped coming to associated physicians for women because I did not feel valued. The focus seemed very much on younger women, and I was " just getting to be that age."PA Duran treated me as I would expect to be treated, yet have not been treated by associated physicians for women.

To check out took nearly 20 minutes. (10 minutes sitting at the desk waiting for the receptionist to finish what she was doing on her computer while never saying anything or apologizing for the wait)Dr Duran is a very personable doctor. I enjoy my office visits with her because she makes me feel comfortable and not awkward for the yearly appointment that it is. This type of appointment used to make me feel uneasy and not want to come. Dr Duran is very professional and compassionate. I appreciate her.

I recently moved to Richland. It was very hard to schedule a initial appointment as a NEW PATIENT. It took 2-3 months until my first visit. I had to switch to another provider to get faster care. Once I started my first appointment, I'm no longer a new patient. The experience has been great. I was able to schedule appointment quickly and someone always followed up with me regarding test results, etc. Great experience.

Given my age, and my need for regular check up, it was very refreshing to find a provider who listened, discussed, order3d neccesswry bllood worl neccessary and prescribed a medicine that helped the problem. I see a LOT of specalistists and haven't felt this heard, listened to and treated in a single appointment ever. Thank you Ms. Duran. It meant a lot. And I feel better than ever.

April Duran did a great job. I was disappointed with the clerk that checked me out. She was did not really want to help me when I asked about the lab work that April said I needed to have done. She also did not answer questions about the Mamogram that I am also suppose to have.
