Some issues Dr. Radhika Ailawadi, MD 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.

Bladder Sling Surgery

If the tube where urine flows out of the body, or urethra, does not close properly and straining causes it to shift out of place, bladder sling surgery may be recommended. In this procedure, the surgeon uses synthetic mesh, a patient's own tissue, or donor tissue to create a sling under the area where the bladder meets the urethra, called the bladder neck. The sling prevents leakage by holding the bladder in place and keeping the urethra closed, especially when coughing or sneezing.

For men, the incision is placed between the base of the scrotum and anus. The incision can be made on the abdomen or in the vagina for women. If a surgeon uses a patient's own tissue to form the sling, she will most likely perform the procedure through the abdominal incision. This approach requires a hospital stay of a few days and down time of a few weeks. Surgery to insert synthetic slings is typically done vaginally. It is performed at an outpatient facility, and most normal activities can be resumed within seven to ten days.

Although recovery is shorter with synthetic slings than with slings made from the patient's own tissue, synthetic slings are associated with a complication known as mesh erosion. When synthetic mesh erodes, it pushes through the vaginal wall and sometimes becomes exposed, causing long-term pain and infections. If this complication occurs, the patient may need to have another surgery to remove the mesh.

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.
