Surgery at Balance Medical

Led by Dr. Rhonda Schafer-McLean, Bal Med Surgical offers minimally invasive gynecologic procedures that focus on treating the underlying cause of symptoms while supporting safety, comfort, and recovery.

When Surgery May Be the Right Next Step

Many women live with symptoms for years before realizing surgery may be an option. Ongoing pain, heavy bleeding, or changes in bladder or pelvic function can take a real toll on daily life.

Surgery may be considered when symptoms like these continue despite medical management or other treatments:

• Chronic or heavy menstrual bleeding
• Pelvic pain or suspected endometriosis
• Urinary leakage or pelvic organ prolapse
• Fibroids, cysts, or structural concerns

Deciding whether surgery makes sense always starts with a careful evaluation and an open conversation about options.
