It can treat a number of non-cancerous conditions, too. At Luminis Health, our low-dose radiation therapy (LDRT) program for benign conditions offers a non-invasive treatment option that’s safe and effective. "Low-dose radiation therapy is a noninvasive option that targets the affected tissues in these benign conditions. It helps reduce cell growth, inflammation, and pain while promoting healing and preventing recurrence." -- Dr. Amar Rewari, Chief of Radiation Oncology and Medical Director of the LDRT Program at Luminis Health. What is Low-Dose Radiation Therapy (LDRT)? Lose-dose radiation therapy, or low-dose radiotherapy, helps reduce pain and stiffness caused by inflammatory and degenerative conditions of the tendons, joints and other soft tissues. It uses targeted X-rays to turn on the body’s anti-inflammatory response, which helps relieve symptoms and restore movement. Benefits of LDRT LDRT can be a good option for people with mild, early-stage inflammatory and degenerative conditions who haven’t been helped by conservative treatments and want to avoid surgery. Treatment with low-dose radiotherapy is painless and performed quickly. Each session lasts about 10 minutes, and sessions are typically performed two to three times a week. Choosing to have low-dose radiation therapy also doesn’t eliminate surgery or other treatment options for you down the road.

- SpecialtyOur experts specialize in treating common problems of the pelvic floor, including incontinence, organ prolapse, and discomfort from these issues. Our goal is to get you back to living a full, active life without having to worry about leaks, pain, or embarrassment. What Is Urogynecologic Surgery? Urogynecology is an area of women's health that builds on gynecology and obstetrics. Our doctors have an additional three years of training in female urology, neurology, and colorectal surgery. We focus on problems of the pelvic floor — the sling-like muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue that support your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. Some of the conditions we treat include urinary and fecal incontinence, urinary tract infection, sexual dysfunction, and pelvic organ prolapse (when one or more organs in the pelvis slip down from their normal position and bulge into the vagina). When these pelvic health conditions don't respond to lifestyle changes, medication, or physical therapy, we offer a range of surgeries geared to your individual needs. Our surgical procedures are minimally invasive and use the latest technology., Why Choose Luminis Health for Urogynecologic Surgery? Our doctors combine knowledge from two areas of women's health — urology and gynecology. Many women suffer with pelvic floor problems for years, thinking incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse are “normal after having kids" or “just part of aging." We're here to tell you that these conditions are never normal — and you can do something about it. Here are some reasons to choose Luminis Health if you need pelvic floor surgery. We exhaust all other options before recommending surgery. We're not going to rush you into surgery that you don't need or want. First, we'll try more conservative approaches, such as lifestyle changes, medications, and physical therapy. We only recommend surgery if we don't see results from other treatments. We spend an hour with each surgical patient. In addition to a physical exam, we take the time to listen to our patients. We want to find out what bothers them, what their concerns are, and if they have questions about any procedures. Our surgery team is primarily made up of female doctors. We're well-known in the area for offering compassionate care — for women, by women. We have the busiest urogynecologic surgery site in Maryland. We are a high volume, state-of-the art surgical center. Because we're board-certified specialists, we often get referrals from other practices. We are leaders in the field. The American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology recognized the AAMC's Women's Center for Pelvic Health with the Safety Certification in Outpatient Practice Excellence for Women's Health. It is only one of two women's health practices in Maryland, and among only 95 in the U.S. to receive this designation., What to Expect from Urogynecologic Surgery Urogynecologic surgeries are usually performed under general anesthesia (that means you'll be asleep during the operation). You may be able to go home the same day. Some procedures are done in our office. Procedures like BOTOX® and urethral bulking may need to be repeated as their effects wear off with time. Your doctor may eventually suggest another type of surgery, such as a mid-urethral sling.
