What kinds of surgical services are available?

Dr. Hajyan has extensive experience in gynecologic surgical techniques and offers a wide range of surgical services to patients in and around Lafayette, California. These procedures include any surgical alteration of a woman’s reproductive organs, including the vagina, cervix, uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, or pelvic cavity. 

Urogynecology is also part of the surgical services Dr. Hajyan offers, including surgical procedures for pelvic floor dysfunction and urinary incontinence, among other issues. 

Some examples of conditions that require gynecologic surgery include:

• Pelvic organ prolapse
• Hysterectomy
• Uterine fibroids
• Chronic pelvic pain
• Ovarian cysts
• Endometriosis
• Cancer

Very often, the need for gynecologic surgery comes on quickly. Having a known and trusted provider makes a big difference when urgent surgical needs arise without warning. 

How does minimally invasive surgery enhance surgical services?

Minimally invasive surgical techniques have revolutionized gynecologic surgery. This approach is an alternative to traditional open surgical techniques that make large incisions to access internal tissues. 

Minimally invasive surgery uses very small incisions and incredibly slim surgical tools. A tube equipped with a light and camera allows Dr. Hajyan to “see” your internal organs and tissues as she performs the procedure. This process enables several surgical alterations to take place without the large incisions, lengthy recovery times, and risk of complications that accompany open surgery. 

How can I ease my recovery after surgical services?

Every surgery is unique, and each patient has distinct needs during recovery. Perhaps the best way to recover is to listen to and adhere to all instructions provided by Dr. Hajyan before the procedure.

Be sure to avoid pushing your body too hard after surgery, but take care to avoid spending extended time sitting or lying in bed. The body needs gentle movement to enhance circulation and support healing. 

It’s also essential to take any prescribed medications as advised. Drink plenty of water, and choose healthful meals that nourish and fuel the body. 

The best way to learn more about the surgical services offered through Lamorinda Women’s Health is to set an appointment to meet with Dr. Hajyan and her team. Online booking is available, and visits can also be scheduled by phone.
