In the 21 century, with the advance of medical technology, the field of gynecology has seen an emerging trend of minimally invasive procedures (MIP). These advances result in a shorter recovery period, less pain and less scarring for women than the traditional surgical procedures.
Laparoscopy is the surgical technique where a camera is placed through a small incision through the umbilicus. Two smaller incisions are used to insert the surgical instruments. Laparoscopy allows the surgeon to visualize the entire abdomen and pelvis without making a large incision on the patient's abdomen.
The alternative to laparoscopy is the traditional surgery. In order to gain access to the inside of the body, the surgeon creates a large incision on the abdomen; this type of procedure is an "open procedure." The risks of a traditional surgical approach can be muscle injury and post operative incisional hernias, in addition to a longer more painful recovery period.
Having a hysterectomy is a decision one of every three women in the United States will face. In fact, hysterectomy is the second most common major surgery among women in this country. Of those surgeries, approximately one-third will be performed as a minimally invasive procedure that can result in a shorter recovery and leave a smaller scar.
Women do not need to be sidelined by hysterectomies. Those who have a minimally invasive procedure typically return to normal activities in a few weeks. Traditional hysterectomies require an average hospital stay of five to seven days, and complete recovery may require up to two months. In other words, if you are a candidate for a minimally invasive procedure, you could return to your normal life in a much shorter time and experience a less painful recovery.
This procedure is now seen as an alternative for many women instead of a hysterectomy. Women who are done their child bearing and who have heavy and/or frequent periods are candidates for this procedure. An endometrial ablation consists of ablating the endometrium, the lining of the uterus which a woman shed monthly. After an ablation most women can expect no menses or a significantly decreased amount of menses. This is a short outpatient procedure which does not require general anesthesia.
G-Spot Enhancement is a revolutionary scientific breakthrough that enhances and enlarges the G-Spot. This is a safe, drug-free, fast, painless and effective procedure in the doctor's office. After the G-Spot is injected with a filler product, women have claimed to experience a peak in their sex drive and have noticed a heightened state of arousal. The procedure will enlarge the G-Spot so it is easier to locate and help women gain maximum pleasure.
