Pregnancy is one of the most amazing times in a woman's life. But
it's also a time when you need extra-special care from an experienced
obstetrician. One who has seen it all and done it all.
In his 35 years of medical practice, Dr. Francisco Javier del Castillo has delivered multiple generations of babies throughout the
Brownsville, Rio Grande Valley area. He has managed normal pregnancies
and all kinds of complicated pregnancies. And he has cared for thousands
of mothers and newborns, providing everything from complete prenatal
care through delivery and postpartum care.
Throughout your pregnancy, you will receive regular checkups to
monitor your health, as well as your developing baby. We will provide
you with education and healthy pregnancy tips along the way. Dr. del
Castillo also provides fetal ultrasound onsite. And his follow-up care
is both thorough and exceptional.
A note about high-risk pregnancy
A pregnancy is usually considered high-risk if you have a medical
condition or you develop one during pregnancy. All pregnancies in women
over the age of 35 are considered high-risk. With careful monitoring and
management from Dr. del Castillo, most women with high-risk pregnancy
can deliver healthy babies.
If you have trouble controlling your bladder, you're not alone.
Millions of females suffer with bladder control problems, or urinary
incontinence. They may leak urine when they laugh or sneeze, or feel the
urge to urinate often but cannot.
If you suffer from urinary incontinence, you know it can have a
significant impact on your life. You may find yourself avoiding
professional or social activities for fear of embarrassment.
The good news is that it doesn't have to be that way. Dr. del
Castillo has helped many women overcome these challenges and improve
their quality of life. His patients get the benefit of having an
excellent surgeon with over three decades of experience.
Once you have had a thorough exam, Dr. del Castillo will suggest the
most appropriate treatment for you based on your specific health needs
and personal preferences. Your options may include:
Tension-Free Vaginal Sling: This is a highly
effective outpatient procedure that supports the urethra using a
special mesh tape. This is typically placed just behind the pubic bone
as a treatment for stress incontinence.
Acupuncture treatment: Dr. del Castillo has had great success using acupuncture to treat urinary incontinence. According to a study published by the Chinese Journal of Surgery in
2010, acupuncture, when added to pelvic floor muscle exercises, is
effective for decreasing urinary incontinence. The study's experimental
group saw more improvement than the control subjects who used only
pelvic floor muscle exercises.
Electro-Acupuncture: This is a form
of acupuncture that uses a small electric current passed between pairs
of acupuncture needles. Another term for this procedure is percutaneous
electrical nerve stimulation, or PENS. Dr. del Castillo offers this form
or acupuncture because it has proven successful in the treatment of
urinary incontinence. According to some experts, electro-acupuncture
augments regular acupuncture treatment to restore health and well-being
and is an excellent treatment for pain, as well.
Anterior Colporrhaphy: This is a special procedure that treats prolapse of the bladder into the vagina.
