Some issues Dr. Dafna Trites, DO can help you with:

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.

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)

A urinary tract infection, or UTI, happens when bacteria enter the body through the opening where urine is normally released. The bacteria infect the lining of the urethra and bladder, turning them red and inflamed. This causes pain in the abdomen or pelvic area, a burning sensation during urination, a sense of urgency about going to the bathroom, frequent urination, and urine that smells bad and looks cloudy, or even contains traces of blood. If the urinary tract infection is severe, it may travel all the way to the kidneys, a more serious kind of UTI called pyelonephritis. Patients with this kidney infection might have blood in their urine, feel back pain, and develop a fever.

Urinary tract infections are extremely common: 12% of all men and 40-50% of all women will have a urinary tract infection during their lifetime. They are more common in women because women have shorter urethras, so bacteria have a shorter distance to travel from the outside of the body to the bladder and cause an infection. Some people also have urethras that are an unusual shape or have an obstruction in the urethra that makes getting a UTI more likely. Also, certain chronic illnesses like diabetes weaken the immune system, so any bacteria in the body are more likely to cause an infection.

A urinary tract infection can be diagnosed very quickly by a doctor. A sample of urine can be examined under a microscope for the presence of bacteria or white blood cells. There are also diagnostic strips that can be used to test a urine sample without the need for a microscope. Once a diagnosis is made, treatment is a course of oral antibiotics, and most patients feel better within just a few days. There are some things that patients can do themselves to help reduce the risk of getting a urinary tract infection in the future. Stay well hydrated, wipe from front to back after going to the bathroom, wear breathable cotton undergarments, and don't hold it in when patients feel the urge to go.

Doctors take an oath not to do harm. Dr. Trites did me harm. She is very sweet, but she lacks common medical knowledge, so in my opinion, she should not have a license to practice medicine. She did not take my pain seriously, she withheld important information that was in my test results, and she refused to treat my condition. She doesn’t think the birth control pill has side effects, and she doesn’t think fibroids can cause pain and bleeding. Twice she told me I “shouldn’t have side effects” from the birth control pill. Then I went to her with heavy bleeding that was causing anemia and crippling abdominal pain. She said, “It’s probably just perimenopause,” but ordered an ultrasound that found a fibroid. When she emailed me the ultrasound results, she didn’t mention the fibroid. She wrote, “Your pelvic ultrasound shows no signs of anything that would cause irregular bleeding or pelvic pain.” I asked her if the fibroid mentioned in my ultrasound report could cause pain and bleeding. She cut and pasted the same answer, “Your pelvic ultrasound shows no signs of anything that would cause irregular bleeding or pelvic pain.” I asked her again to address the fibroid. She said yes, I have a fibroid, but “this would not contribute to bleeding.” It’s common knowledge that fibroids can cause extreme pain and heavy bleeding, so I have no idea why Dr. Trites said otherwise. I highly recommend finding a different doctor if you want one with basic medical knowledge who takes your pain seriously.
