Core Needle Breast Biopsy

A core needle breast biopsy is a diagnostic procedure used to assess a lump found in the breast for possible pathology. Less invasive than a surgical biopsy, a core needle biopsy allows a doctor to remove samples of cells and fluid through a small incision.

The patient lies on her back on a table while the physician locates the abnormality on an ultrasound, and then makes a mark in pen on the skin to indicate where the needle should be inserted. The skin is sterilized and numbed with local anesthetic. A small incision is made in the skin, and the needle is inserted. ...

Barrier Birth Control

Birth control is any method of contraception used to prevent pregnancy. A woman has many birth control options; which are appropriate depend on her age, overall health and lifestyle. Birth control can be permanent or temporary. Some types of birth control are more effective than others, and it is up to each woman to decide which type is right for her. ...

Fibroid Embolization

Uterine fibroids are growths or benign masses that can form on the inside or outside of the uterus. Also known as fibroid tumors, or myomas, uterine fibroids can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, pain and pressure in the pelvis. While uterine fibroids do not always cause symptoms, they may lead to future complications and usually require treatment. ...

Miscarriage

A miscarriage, sometimes called pregnancy loss, is the spontaneous loss of a fetus before the 20th week of pregnancy. Most miscarriages occur before the woman knows that she is pregnant. Miscarriage affects 20 percent of all pregnancies. Although common, miscarriage can be a heartbreaking event for expectant couples, often requiring a lengthy emotional recovery and concern about potential risks and causes of future miscarriages. ...

Amniotic fluid, which is contained in the amniotic sac, surrounds the fetus. In some cases, the membranes of the amniotic sac rupture or break before a woman goes into labor; this is known as premature rupture of membranes (PROM), and also as early water-breaking. During PROM, a woman can feel anywhere from a small trickle to a heavy flow of liquid from the vagina. Most women go into labor within 24 hours of PROM. The longer it takes for labor to begin after the membranes rupture, the greater the risk of infection for the mother and fetus. ...

Uterosacral Ligament Suspension

Uterosacral ligament suspension is a procedure that is designed to restore support to the uterus and the vaginal vault, or the top of the vagina. Uterosacral ligament suspension is a minimally invasive surgical treatment for uterine or vaginal prolapse, that surgically lifts up the top of the vagina and holds it in place. ...
