Some issues Dr. Karie Lin Devries, MD 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.

I used to think Karie was a caring doctor but last year i got a miscarriage and She and her team never even cared about how i felt but her team went on and on about my insurance. I had more care at the ER than from Her as a doctor and ive been with her office for a while. Instead of grieving, I had to worry more about if my visits were covered by insurance or not (even though my insurance was working, we were just in the middle of changing our plan) but that didnt mean they had to point that out to me every time i visited the office. Fast forward to this year, i went for a visit and i had to sit in there for close to an hour. Everyone else was taken in as soon as they walked in the office. It would have been great if i was told that maybe she’s behind so it would take longer but no explanation at all. I do not want to make this a race issue but when you see other people being treated with care and you’re not it just makes you wonder if things would be different if it was the other way around.

Overall Rating: 5.0 2018-02-21

I absolutely love Dr. Devries. She has been my gynecologist for the past 10 years. I feel completely comfortable in her presence and can ask her about anything. She is gentle, informative and non-judgmental. Her office staff at both locations are also very helpful. Though I have moved further and further away over the last decade, I still prefer to drive the extra miles for my yearly exams because I don't think I could find a better doctor.
