Patient ED @ 617-379-1582  INFO<br />
On the day of your operation, you will be asked to put on a surgical gown.<br />
You may receive a sedative by mouth and<br />
an intravenous line may be put in.<br />
You will then be transferred to the operating table.<br />
To perform a D and C, your doctor needs unobstructed access to your uterus, so your feet will be raised, separated and placed in canvas slings &#8211; holding your legs in a position much like that position used during a routine gynecological exam.<br />
To begin, the genital area is swabbed with an antiseptic solution &#8230;<br />
&#8230; and sterile towels are draped around until only the vulva is exposed.<br />
Then the surgeon will use a gloved hand to conduct a vaginal examination and will check the size and location of the uterus by pressing on your lower abdomen.<br />
A metal or plastic vaginal speculum is used to gently expand the vagina and allow access to the cervix. Patient Education<br />
Once the cervix is visible, a forcep is used to grasp the front lip of the cervix &#8211; causing the uterus to open a little.<br />
Using a blunt-tipped probe, the surgeon carefully measures the length of the uterus and takes a small sample of tissue from the cervical canal.<br />
Next, the surgeon will dilate, or open the cervix, using a series of progressively larger metal rods called dilators.<br />
When the cervix has expanded sufficiently, the doctor will use a spoon-shaped instrument called a curette to gently scrape out the lining of the uterus. In some cases, surge<br />
When the entire lining of the uterus has been removed, the instruments are withdrawn.<br />
The tissue removed will then be sent to a laboratory for analysis.<br />

Patient Education @ 617-379-1582  INFO<br />
Your gynecologist has recommended that you undergo surgery to remove vaginal fibroids. But what does that actually mean?</p>
<p>The uterus is part of a woman&#8217;s reproductive system &#8211; it&#8217;s the organ that contains and protects a growing fetus during pregnancy.</p>
<p>Fibroids are non-cancerous tumors that grow from the inner or outer wall of the uterus. They are quite common &#8211; as many as 20% of women over 30 will develop fibroids sometime during their lifetimes.</p>
<p>In most cases fibroids do not cause any discomfort and are never detected. Occasionally, however, fibroid tumors can cause problems. Complications from fibroid growth can include:</p>
<p>    * Pressure on the urinary system.<br />
    * Pressure on the intestines.<br />
    * Interference with the reproductive system<br />
    * Or infection.</p>
<p>Because these tumors can grow to be very large, surgery is usually recommended in order to restore health and to protect the uterus.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/b_OcxtakWEc/2.jpg" align="left">Dr. Len Horowitz is an internationally known authority in behavioral science, public health education, and health practice management. He received his doctorate from Tufts University, was awarded a fellowship to do behavioral research at the University of Rochester, and later earned a Master of Public Health degree in behavioral science from Harvard University and a Masters degree in health education from Beacon College.</p>
<p>One of healthcare&#8217;s most captivating motivational speakers, Len has served on the faculties of Tufts University, Harvard University, and Leslie College&#8217;s Institute for the Arts and Human Development, directed a multidisciplinary health center for over a decade, and currently serves as President of Tetrahedron, Inc., a nonprofit health educational corporation.<br />
Dr. Len Horowitz commented on a TB patient who&#8217;s been jailed because he didn&#8217;t wear a mask. The authorities who imprisoned the man are the ones who are negligent, as they are depriving him of natural cures such as sunlight and oxygenation, he said. Dr. Horowitz was also critical of a proposed anthrax vaccine&#8211; &#8220;it&#8217;s not science,&#8221; but a political and financial agenda, he declared.<br />

<p>Government-run health systems, such as the one in Canada, are pointed to by those on different sides of the issue as examples of what to do or not to do in health reform.</p>
<p>What lessons do these systems hold for the United States as it attempts to overhaul its health care system? What policies should Congress steer clear of?</p>

<p>These stigmatizing experiences (also called &#8216;weight bias&#8217;) jeopardize patients&#8217; emotional and physical health. The Rudd Center for Food Policy and Obesity at Yale University (http://ruddcenter.yale.org) has released this new video in response to a growing concern about weight bias in health care. The video, hosted by celebrity and activist Emme and featuring Rudd Center experts including Dr. Rebecca Puhl and Dr. Kelly Brownell, uses expert commentary and dramatic representation to increase awareness of bias and stigma that overweight and obese patients encounter in health care. Equally importantly, the video presents a range of practical strategies to help providers reduce bias in their clinical practice, and to optimize the health care experience for their overweight and obese patients.</p>
