Did you know that Denver’s own Dr. Oscar A. Aguirre was recently interviewed for a feature in the Denver area publication, Health & Wellness?

Dr. Aguirre, who is a fellowship-trained urogynecologist with extensive experience in cosmetic gynecology, opened up about the subject of cosmetic gynecology for readers and shared important information about some of the biggest advancements in urogynecology and cosmetic gynecology in the world today. Dr. Aguirre is Medical Director of Denver’s Aguirre Specialty Care and offers truly unique services that are in demand now more than ever before.

The article is titled, “Meet the Doctor, Oscar A. Aguirre” and is featured in their most recent issue. Dr. Aguirre states, “Aguirre Specialty Care specializes in urogynecology, cosmetic gynecology, body contouring, dermal aesthetics and bioidentical hormone therapy. The need for cosmetic gynecology has always existed however it was not socially acceptable until recently. As cosmetic treatments and procedures grew in popularity and became more commonplace women were able to address their most personal cosmetic concerns more freely. That is why I am always pleased to take the time to do an interview or appear on a television show on behalf of Aguirre Specialty Care. I know that women need to hear that they are not alone and that there are solutions available to them.”

Dr. Aguirre offers a wide range of services including liposuction, laser treatments, BOTOX and dermal fillers, cosmetic gynecology, urogynecology and procedures like Brazilian Butt Augmentation and ASC’s Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck with Liposuction).

Dr. Aguirre explains, “We are lucky enough to have a dedicated following in the Denver area and across the nation. Slowly I offered my patients an even more comprehensive facility with additional services that make sense. Patients were coming in to see me for their most personal services and they would tell me they wished they could see me for other cosmetic needs. I decided to offer additional solutions and that is where we are today.”

In the article, Dr. Aguirre states, “The biggest advancement (in cosmetic gynecology) has been the increasing acceptance of these procedures. For instance, labia reduction, once uncommon and considered unnecessary, has become quite popular. Cosmetic gynecology is currently one of the fastest growing areas of cosmetic enhancements.”

Question: What exactly does the term “pelvic floor” mean?

Answer: At Aguirre Specialty Care in Denver, we understand that many women are unaware of the importance of the pelvic floor, and how common it may actually be to have a weakened pelvic floor due to childbirth. We think it’s important for our patients to understand how their bodies work.

Many of our patients at Aguirre Specialty Care visit us for urogynecological care with problems that we determine to be associated with their pelvic floor. The pelvic floor  describes the muscles, ligaments and connective tissue that provide support for a woman’s internal organs in the region known as the pelvis (including the bowel, bladder, uterus, vagina, and rectum). More than just keeping the organs in place, the pelvic floor helps ensure that these organs function properly.

Dr. Oscar A. Aguirre, fellowship-trained urogynecologist, explains, “Often after childbirth the pelvic floor can become damaged or weakened and sometimes unable to support the weight of the other pelvic and abdominal organs.  Generally, the more vaginal deliveries, the worse the condition.  The good news is that we can correct many of the issues associated with damage to the pelvic floor.”

Some of the symptoms associated with pelvic floor dysfunction include:

Frequent urination

Incontinence

Urge but inability to urinate

Chronic Pelvic Pain/Burning

Bowel Dysfunction

Decreased sexual pleasure

It’s not uncommon for a woman to experience decreased sensation and sexual satisfaction during intercourse due to changes to the pelvic floor, as vaginal relaxation frequently leads to decreased feelings of friction and loss of sexual satisfaction.

If you are experiencing any of these conditions please contact Aguirre Specialty Care, today. Through consultation, Dr. Aguirre can determine if you have a pelvic floor condition and recommend solutions.  Call us at 303.954.4114 or visit us at ascdenver.com.

Whether you’re considering body contouring, cosmetic gynecology, laser rejuvenation or another procedure, winter is an excellent time to schedule it. Colder weather and holiday breaks mean you can comfortably conceal yourself as you heal and have a few extra days to rest peacefully. At ASC, winter in the Denver area is our favorite time of year! Holiday break brings many familiar faces who return to ASC during the winter for procedure that may require a little more recovery time than a BOTOX® injection.

Choosing to schedule your procedures at ASC in the winter also means that by the spring and summer you will be well on your way to seeing and experiencing optimal results.  For example, if you are seeking to remove a muffin top or love handles, SmartLipo™ is an excellent choice.  While some results show immediately, the final outcome won’t be visible for several weeks.

There is still time to schedule your winter procedures at ASC. The sooner you book, the closer you will be to feeling confident and looking your best next summer!

To schedule your winter procedure at Aguirre Specialty Care call 303.954.4114 or visit ascdenver.com.

“Simply put, Bioidentical hormones are medications that provide an exact chemical match to hormones that your body creates,” says Shawna Stephan, P.A.-C of Aguirre Specialty Care. Shawna specializes in women’s medicine and has extensive experience finding solutions for women with hormonal problems. Bioidentical hormones are manufactured in the lab to have the same molecular structure as the hormones made by your own body. Often they are made from yams or soy. By contrast, synthetic hormones are intentionally different. Pharmaceutical companies can’t patent a bioidentical structure, so they invent synthetic hormones.

Shawna prescribes bioidentical hormones for menopausal, perimenopausal and postmenopausal women. During their initial consultation, Shawna and her patients will discuss, in detail, their medical history and the unique concerns each patient experiences. Blood tests are taken to check thyroid levels, DHEA and other related issues. Once a patient begins her personal plan, she will begin to feel improvement in as little as two weeks and will feel dramatic improvement soon thereafter. Shawna explains, “With bioidenticals, we get all of these factors working properly again and suddenly my patients feel refreshed. Many tell me they feel a sense of well being they have missed for many years.”

Many times Bioidenticals are prescribed in the form of a cream that you can apply to yourself regularly.

“In recent years, there have been a lot of exciting additions to my practice,” states Dr. Oscar A.  Aguirre of Aguirre Specialty Care in Denver, CO. “We we are very grateful to report that body contouring and dermal aesthetics services have taken off, allowing many people in the Denver area to restore their confidence while improving their appearance.” Dr. Aguirre continues, “I began to understand my evolving role in my patient’s lives when they came to me and said if I’m going to trust you with my bladder, I have no hesitation in trusting you with procedures like liposuction.”

With these additions to the practice, ASC’s commitment to urogynecology, the treatment of pelvic floor disorders, is unwavering. Dr. Aguirre explains, “What we have discovered at ASC, is that many patients who come in for a urogynecological disorder like pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence, constipation, sexual dysfunction or pelvic pain are very pleased to discover that we can do much more, with other services like vaginal beautification and liposuction.”

Aguirre, MD, FACOG is Board Certified by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology and is also one of a few fellowship-trained urogynecologists in the world who is qualified to perform Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation and Designer Laser Vaginoplasty.

Dr. Aguirre states, “Our mission at Aguirre Specialty Care is to create a partnership with you, address your concerns and pursue treatment options that will enable you to live free from the limitations brought on by your urogynecological and cosmetic conditions.  “All of our services are aimed at helping women look and feel more beautiful, and ultimately gain the confidence they have always wanted.”  ” Dr. Aguirre is a leader as well as a trailblazer in his field.

Deciding to have liposuction is a rather large decision. Although it’s one of the most performed cosmetic procedures in the Unites States today, it is still a rather invasive one with quite a bit of recovery time. Liposuction is also a procedure not typically used to just get rid of a little fat and smooth everything out. So is there an option for those just seeking a little bit of fat removal? Yes, there is. It’s called VASER® LipoSelection.

The procedure itself is unlike traditional liposuction in that it is not nearly as invasive, typically has a much faster recovery time and patients also experience a lot less pain during recovery. The VASER® System is the only one of its kind that liquefies fat and removes it in this particular way, providing smooth end results with minimal complications thus far. But perhaps the most interesting aspect of VASER® LipoSelection is its ability break up the fat while recognizing other tissue areas like nerves and connective tissue. The VASER® System is able to skip over these important areas and simply focus on the targeted fat.

If you’ve considered liposuction but you decided against it due to the invasive nature of the procedure, VASER® LipoSelection may just be the ticket to remove those problem spots and smooth the area.

Having an overactive bladder may not seem serious to some but if not treated can lead to many sacrifices in one’s everyday lifestyle. You may decide not to go on that family camping trip or weekend hike for fear of not having a bathroom nearby or you may decide to stop doing regular everyday activities just because it seems too risky. The important thing to realize is that you have options. Through medications, specific exercise and even some injections such as Botox, the condition can helped but as some food for thought, there are other things you can do naturally to help yourself in the meantime.

1. Watch What You Eat – Sugar, caffeine and alcohol are big no-no’s. They actually promote frequent and sudden urination which we know doesn’t help the condition. Instead, focus of Vitamin C foods like broccoli, oranges, etc. Magnesium and calcium will help you gain better control of the muscles and fiber will help absorb liquid.
2. Sweat It Out – Eating correctly can only help with part of the problem. The other piece to the puzzle is exercise of course! Many studies have shown that urinary incontinence and overactive bladders can be traced back to lack of exercise and being overweight. So what are you waiting for? Taking a walk around the block is a perfect start.
3. Start Training Your Bladder – This is a very common treatment for overactive bladders. It helps change the way you use the bathroom. Instead of going whenever you feel the urge, you urinate at set times of the day, called scheduled voiding. You learn to control the urge to go by waiting — for a few minutes at first, then gradually increasing to an hour or more between bathroom visits.
