When your health condition requires surgery, you will receive the highest level of care from our skilled medical and surgical teams. Gynecological surgery may be appropriate for any part of a woman’s reproductive system, including the vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes and ovaries. Or you may need surgery for the urinary tract. Our surgeons perform a wide range of specialized surgeries, including:

  • Pelvic floor prolapse repair
  • Thermal ablation
  • Treatment of ovarian cysts
  • Tubal ligation

Many procedures can use a minimally invasive approach via laparoscopy or vaginal access — including hysterectomy, fibroid removal and treatment of endometriosis and ectopic pregnancies. These advanced surgical techniques provide benefits to you with smaller incisions, less pain, less scarring, a shorter hospital stay and a faster recovery.

Yuma Regional is the only hospital in Arizona to be designated as a Center of Excellence in Women’s Health by the American Institute of Minimally Invasive Surgery (AIMIS). This recognition reflects high standards of care in minimally invasive surgery and the inclusion of an accredited AIMIS surgeon on staff.

Seeking preventive care will help you to stay healthy and receive prompt treatment for medical problems as they arise. Identifying a concern early can result in easier, more effective treatment and faster return to your life activities. Regular preventive care can even help to identify your potential for disease before it develops.

It is important to make routine screenings and services a priority, including annual well-woman exams, immunizations, blood work, health screenings and more. Your provider will assess your risk for conditions such as heart disease or cancer and will ask you about exercise, diet and smoking. In addition, mammography screenings are important to early detection of breast health issues. Your care team will guide you through these priorities throughout your journey of healthy aging.

One of every three women over the age of 45 suffers from some form of urinary incontinence — the loss of voluntary bladder control resulting in urinary leakage. Research suggests that in those over 65, this number increases to one out of every two women. The good news, however, is that urinary incontinence can be effectively managed or even reversed.

You may experience urge, stress or mixed incontinence. With urge incontinence, sometimes called overactive bladder, you may feel an overwhelming need to urinate. Stress incontinence causes urine loss during exercise, coughing, sneezing, laughing or any body movement that puts pressure on the bladder. Mixed incontinence is a combination of urge and stress incontinence.

Treatment depends on the type, severity and underlying cause of your condition and may include behavioral or dietary modifications, medications, a minimally invasive procedure or a combination of treatments.
