system: How long is recovery from bladder suspension surgery?
output: How successful the surgery is for you depends on: Activities after surgery How long you have had stress incontinence Other surgeries and medical conditions you may have Your age Your weight The following can make bladder suspension surgery less effective: A chronic cough Low estrogen levels Obesity Older age Diabetes Poor nutrition Radiation therapy Strenuous activity Reasons the surgery may not work may include: You have a different type of incontinence (such as urge incontinence) Problems with healing Obesity The surgical technique used How fast you recover depends on the specific procedure. Open retropubic suspension surgery is done under general anesthesia, and requires a hospital stay. The surgery itself takes about one hour, but discomfort can last 6-8 weeks. Some sling procedures may be done under local anesthesia in an outpatient clinic. In general, recovery times are longer for procedures done through the abdomen, and shorter for those done through the vagina or via laparoscopic incisions.
system: What complications can happen after sling surgery?
output: Other complications associated with retropubic suspension surgery are rare but may include: Abscess Bladder spasms Bleeding Blood clots Injury to the bladder, urethra, and other urinary tract structures Infection (catheter-related infections are the most common) Overactive bladder Reactions to anesthesia Vaginal prolapse Complications associated with sling surgery may include: Injury to the bladder, urethra, and other urinary tract structures Infection (catheter-related infections are the most common) Man-made sling material may wear away, leading to infection or reduced effectiveness Reactions to anesthesia Overactive bladder Trouble urinating after the procedure Painful intercourse Pelvic or groin pain Bladder suspension surgery works well to treat stress incontinence in most cases.
system: How does bladder suspension surgery help prevent stress incontinence?
output: Bladder suspension (or bladder neck suspension) surgery is a procedure that can be used to treat urine leakage that occurs when a person sneezes, laughs, or coughs -- a condition called stress incontinence. Childbirth, as well as hormonal changes that come with menopause, can cause a woman to lose muscle tone along the pelvic floor. That can lead to stress incontinence.
system: What is sling surgery for bladder suspension?
output: Sling surgery uses a piece of body tissue, called fascia, or a man-made material to create a sling or hammock-like structure that cradles the sagging bladder neck. This supports the bladder neck and urethra. You can use your own tissue for the surgery (if so, it is removed from your abdominal wall) or donated tissue.
system: What is open retropubic suspension surgery for bladder suspension?
output: Bladder suspension surgical techniques include: Open retropubic suspension surgery Laparoscopic retropubic suspension surgery Needle bladder neck suspension surgery Open retropubic suspension surgery involves pulling up the bladder neck and sewing it to the surrounding bone or tissue with sutures. It is a form of abdominal surgery. The surgeon makes an incision in the belly area a few inches below the belly button and locates the bladder and urethra, the tube through which urine flows out of the body. The procedure improves symptoms of stress incontinence that result from sagging of the bladder neck or urethra.
system: How will my doctor decide which bladder suspension surgery is best for me?
output: You and your doctor will discuss which procedure is best for you. Your doctor will consider the following factors when choosing your procedure: Other health conditions you may have, the anatomy of your urinary tract and surrounding structures, and the surgeon's experience. Open retropubic suspension surgery and sling surgery require a hospital stay. The insertion of mesh slings to support the urethra can be done as an outpatient procedure.
system: What are the reasons why bladder suspension surgery may not work?
output: How successful the surgery is for you depends on: Activities after surgery How long you have had stress incontinence Other surgeries and medical conditions you may have Your age Your weight The following can make bladder suspension surgery less effective: A chronic cough Low estrogen levels Obesity Older age Diabetes Poor nutrition Radiation therapy Strenuous activity Reasons the surgery may not work may include: You have a different type of incontinence (such as urge incontinence) Problems with healing Obesity The surgical technique used How fast you recover depends on the specific procedure.
system: When is bladder suspension surgery not a good idea?
output: For example, bladder suspension surgery may be an option if you develop stress incontinence because of: Childbirth Menopause Problems with the muscles in the bladder and urethra (the tube that carries urine from the body) Surgery Before considering bladder suspension surgery, make sure your symptoms are actually brought on by stress incontinence. If need be, seek a second opinion. Bladder suspension surgery only helps treat stress incontinence. It is not helpful for other forms of incontinence. The No. 1 reason surgery fails is an incorrect diagnosis.
system: What is a laparoscopic retopubic suspension surgery for bladder suspension?
output: Bladder suspension surgical techniques include: Open retropubic suspension surgery Laparoscopic retropubic suspension surgery Needle bladder neck suspension surgery Open retropubic suspension surgery involves pulling up the bladder neck and sewing it to the surrounding bone or tissue with sutures. It uses a smaller incision than the open procedure. You and your doctor will discuss which procedure is best for you.
system: What  complications can there be from retropubic suspension surgery?
output: The most common complication after any type of retropubic suspension surgery is trouble urinating. Less than 5% of patients have permanent urinary retention. This may require urinary catheterization from time to time but rarely requires surgery. Other complications associated with retropubic suspension surgery are rare but may include: Abscess Bladder spasms Bleeding Blood clots Injury to the bladder, urethra, and other urinary tract structures Infection (catheter-related infections are the most common) Overactive bladder Reactions to anesthesia Vaginal prolapse Complications associated with sling surgery may include: Injury to the bladder, urethra, and other urinary tract structures Infection (catheter-related infections are the most common) Man-made sling material may wear away, leading to infection or reduced effectiveness Reactions to anesthesia Overactive bladder Trouble urinating after the procedure Painful intercourse Pelvic or groin pain Bladder suspension surgery works well to treat stress incontinence in most cases. Success rates also drop as the number of bladder suspension surgeries you have go up.
system: What restrictions will I have after bladder suspension surgery?
output: For example, bladder suspension surgery may be an option if you develop stress incontinence because of: Childbirth Menopause Problems with the muscles in the bladder and urethra (the tube that carries urine from the body) Surgery Before considering bladder suspension surgery, make sure your symptoms are actually brought on by stress incontinence. For example: Do not use tampons or douches for 6 weeks Avoid intercourse for 6 weeks Do not strain during bowel movements Avoid strenuous exercise Do not do any heavy lifting Remember, the most common reason surgery fails to improve symptoms is an incorrect diagnosis. That means, if you still have urinary leakage when you cough and sneeze after bladder suspension surgery, be sure to tell your doctor.
system: How well does bladder suspension surgery work?
output: Bladder suspension surgery only helps treat stress incontinence. Symptoms can return over time, usually after five years. Success rates also drop as the number of bladder suspension surgeries you have go up.

system: What is bladder suspension surgery?
output: Bladder suspension refers to surgery that helps place a sagging bladder back into its normal position. Bladder suspension (or bladder neck suspension) surgery is a procedure that can be used to treat urine leakage that occurs when a person sneezes, laughs, or coughs -- a condition called stress incontinence. Childbirth, as well as hormonal changes that come with menopause, can cause a woman to lose muscle tone along the pelvic floor. That can lead to stress incontinence.
system: Are there different types of bladder suspension surgery?
output: Is this type of surgery right for you? Bladder suspension surgical techniques include: Open retropubic suspension surgery Laparoscopic retropubic suspension surgery Needle bladder neck suspension surgery Open retropubic suspension surgery involves pulling up the bladder neck and sewing it to the surrounding bone or tissue with sutures.
system: Who is at risk for rosacea?
output: People who have fair skin and who tend to blush easily may be at a higher risk for the disorder. Rosacea appears more often among women, but men tend to have the more severe symptoms. A possible reason for this could be that men generally delay medical treatment until rosacea becomes advanced.
system: How can medications help treat rosacea?
output: Sometimes, doctors prescribe oral and topical medications to treat the disorder's associated bumps, pimples, and redness. Medications can bring the condition under control and keep it in remission (the disappearance of signs and symptoms).
system: Which parts of the body are affected by rosacea?
output: Rosacea is a common disorder that mainly affects skin on the face. It causes redness on the nose, chin, cheeks, and forehead. In some cases, rosacea appears on the chest, back, or neck. It can affect the eyes, causing them to feel irritated and to appear bloodshot or watery.

output: Usually, self-injury leaves marks or causes tissue damage. Self-injury can involve any of the following behaviors: Cutting Burning (or "branding" with hot objects) Picking at skin or re-opening wounds Hair-pulling (trichotillomania) Head-banging Hitting (with hammer or other object) Bone-breaking Most who engage in self-injury act alone rather than in groups. It also is important to identify whether self-injury is one symptom of a particular personality disorder that needs to be treated.
system: How often do you need to take the fecal occult blood test?
output: The fecal immunochemical test ( FIT) is the test of choice over the fecal occult blood test. This test can be done at home.
system: How can gastrointestinal bleeding be seen relative to the fecal occult blood test?
output: Blood may appear in the stool because of one or more of the following conditions: Benign (non-cancerous) or malignant (cancerous) growths or polyps of the colon Hemorrhoids (swollen blood vessels near the anus and lower rectum that can rupture, causing bleeding) Anal fissures (splits or cracks in the lining of the anal opening) Intestinal infections that cause inflammation Ulcers Ulcerative colitis Crohn's disease Diverticular disease, caused by outpouchings of the colon wall Abnormalities of the blood vessels in the large intestine Gastrointestinal bleeding may be microscopic (invisible to the eye) or may be easily seen as red blood or black tar-like bowel movements, called melena.
system: What do the fecal occult blood test results mean?
output: The fecal occult blood test requires the collection of 3 small stool samples. A positive fecal occult blood test means that blood has been found in the stool. Your doctor will have to determine the source of the bleeding, either by doing a colonoscopy or by doing an examination to determine if the bleeding is coming from the stomach or small intestine. A negative test result means that no blood was found in the stool sample during the testing period. You should continue to follow your doctor's recommendations for regular screening.
system: What questions should I ask my doctor about my rheumatoid arthritis?
output: You'll work closely with your doctor to manage your rheumatoid arthritis. These questions are a good starting point for your next checkup. Which RA medicines do you recommend for me, and why?

What kinds of activities are safe for me to do? How are my joints doing? What lifestyle changes do you recommend for me? What other specialists should I see? Are there complementary treatments I could try? Will I need surgery?
system: What causes Grover's disease?
output: It may appear for no reason. Some doctors think that sun-damaged skin or extreme swings in temperature play a role. One popular, but unproven, theory is that it may be linked to sweating. Many cases have occurred in men who use hot tubs, steam rooms, electric blankets, and other warming items.
system: Who is more likely to get Grover's disease?

system: What are treatments for severe symptoms of Grover's disease?
output: If you have a mild rash, the first treatments may include: Antihistamines, taken by mouth Prescription cortisone cream, applied to the rash Other anti-itch lotions that contain menthol or camphor If your symptoms are very bad, your doctor may suggest retinoids or an antibiotic taken by mouth. Your doctor may prescribe light therapy combined with medications if this happens. Other treatments that may be used for severe symptoms are: Antifungal pills Antifungal lotions such as selenium sulfide Cortisone shots, Oral corticosteroids Antibiotics Systemic retinoid Your doctor may also suggest you reduce activities that can cause a lot of sweating (like heavy-duty workouts), since sweating can worsen the rash.

system: How does surgery help with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)?
output: If you have severe COPD with significant lung damage, you may need surgery, especially if you have severe symptoms, can't control your COPD with medications, or have trouble breathing most of the time. Surgery may involve: Bullectomy to remove enlarged air spaces that interfere with breathing. They sometimes form when walls of air sacs break. Lung volume reduction surgery ( LVRS) to remove sections of damaged lung tissue. Lung transplant to replace a diseased lung with a healthy donor lung. This is only done in very severe cases of COPD.
system: How do antibiotics treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)?
output: Antibiotics.
system: How does Daliresp treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)?
output: This is a pill that's part of a new class of COPD treatment -- it's an inhibitor of an enzyme called phosphodiesterase type 4 ( PDE-4). Daliresp prevents COPD flares in people whose condition is associated with chronic bronchitis. The drug is not intended for other types of COPD.
system: How do corticosteroids treat chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)?
output: These medications may help reduce airway inflammation. Inhaled corticosteroids are mainly used in those whose symptoms are not well controlled with bronchodilators only. That's because they work less well for COPD than they do for other lung problems such as asthma.
system: What are some examples of bronchodilators used to treat COPD?
output: Examples of bronchodilators used as COPD treatment include: Anticholinergic bronchodilators block acetylcholine, a chemical "messenger" that makes airways constrict. They are used as needed for treatment of symptoms. Methylxanthines may be helpful for people who have trouble with inhaled medications.
system: How can quitting smoking help with treating COPD?
output: If you only do one thing to manage your COPD, quit smoking. Quitting smoking can: Curb the decline in lung function Reduce symptoms of COPD Slow the decline in lung function to a rate that's normal with aging Improve the quality of life for anyone, with or without COPD No matter how serious or mild your COPD, stopping smoking provides benefit. And they cannot reverse the damage caused by smoking.
system: Can taking medications cure COPD?
output: COPD is a chronic lung disease with no cure. And they cannot reverse the damage caused by smoking. But medications can help you in a variety of ways. They may: Help open up airways Reduce airway inflammation Fight bacterial infections Your doctor may prescribe more than one type of medication.
system: How should you take stimulant medications for adult ADHD?
output: Stimulants your doctor might prescribe include: Amphetamine-based medicine ( Adzenys, Dexedrine, Dyanavel, Evekeo, Pro Centra, Vyvanse, Zenzedi) Methylphenidate-based medicine ( Aptensio, Concerta, Cotempla, Daytrana, Metadate, Methylin, Quilli Chew, Quillivant, Ritalin) Mixed salts of a single-entity amphetamine ( Mydayis) Once you agree on a medication, your doctor will probably prescribe a low dose and see if it helps your symptoms. If it doesn't, you may need to increase the dose slowly or try something else. Many of these medications come in both short- and long-acting forms. Short-acting drugs wear off after about 4 hours. You take them 1 or 2 times a day. Long-acting or extended-release drugs can last 8 to 12 hours, and you take them once a day. Talk with your doctor to decide which works best for your routine, and to figure out the best time of day to take your medication.
