When 72-year-old retired teacher Ruth Davitt stepped out of the shower after a routine exercise class, she made a terrifying discovery. She noticed an alarming, unfamiliar bulge, and her immediate thought was, “I probably have cancer.”
Thankfully, it wasn’t cancer. It was pelvic organ prolapse—a surprisingly common but highly disruptive condition where weakened pelvic tissues allow organs to shift downward. Unwilling to let the discomfort sideline her active retirement and refusing to settle for a temporary device, Ruth turned to urogynecologist Nina Bhatia, M.D., at Hackensack Meridian Health Old Bridge Medical Center.
Taking a compassionate, woman-to-woman approach, Dr. Bhatia helped Ruth develop a personalized, minimally invasive surgical plan designed to fix the problem once and for all.
