What to expect at the Beverly Hills visit

The pelvic visit is private, and it is long enough to examine you properly. Dr. Eilber asks about leakage, urgency, infections, prolapse symptoms, sexual pain, and what menopause has changed. Prior surgeries, especially hysterectomy or a previous incontinence procedure, change the options, so bring those reports if you have them.

Many women leave with a non-surgical plan: pelvic floor physical therapy, local hormone treatment, or medication. When surgery is the right treatment for prolapse or incontinence, it is scheduled with a clear account of recovery, not squeezed between other specialists' calendars. If hormones or a breast finding should come first, that order is set before you are given a date.

Patients who fly in can often complete the exam, any same-day testing, and a joint look at the hormone or breast questions in one stay. The file does not start over when you see the next physician.
