A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Aakriti Carrubba provides expert care for a range of conditions, focusing on early detection and effective management to support your long-term wellness. Common areas of focus include:

• Uterine Prolapse: Understanding your risk factors for uterine prolapse, such as vaginal childbirth, helps you take proactive steps to maintain pelvic floor health.
• Genitourinary Tract Hemorrhage: Unexpected vaginal bleeding can be a sign of a serious health problem, so regular checkups with your OB/GYN are crucial for early detection and prevention of complications.
• Vulvovaginal Rhabdomyosarcoma: Vulvovaginal rhabdomyosarcoma is a rare cancer that starts in the muscles of the vagina or vulva, and early detection through regular check-ups is crucial for successful treatment and better outcomes.
• Vaginal and Pelvic Prolapse: Maintaining strong pelvic floor muscles through regular exercise significantly reduces your risk of developing vaginal and pelvic prolapse later in life.
• Vaginal Cancer: Early diagnosis of vaginal cancer through screenings allows for less invasive treatments and a better chance of a complete cure, preventing the spread of cancer and serious complications.
• Ovarian Remnant Syndrome: To prevent persistent pain and hormonal imbalances, early detection and treatment of ovarian remnant syndrome, often through surgical removal of the remaining tissue, is crucial after procedures like oophorectomy.
• Chronic Vaginitis: Managing chronic vaginitis effectively helps prevent recurrent infections and ensures that your vaginal health doesn't hinder your daily life or long-term well-being.
• Uterine Cancer: Preventative care, including discussions with your OB/GYN about your individual risk factors, helps ensure timely detection and effective management of uterine cancer, preserving your health and well-being.
• Menstrual Disorders: Don't ignore unusual menstrual symptoms; seeking help promptly from your doctor can help prevent serious health issues and improve your overall well-being.
• Ectopic Pregnancy: An ectopic pregnancy occurs when a fertilized egg implants outside the uterus, often causing severe complications if not detected and treated early, highlighting the importance of regular prenatal care.
• Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Protecting your long-term health includes understanding your menstrual cycle. Unusual bleeding patterns should be discussed with your doctor to identify and manage any potential problems.
• HPV (Human Papillomavirus): While some HPV infections are harmless, regular checkups allow your doctor to monitor for high-risk types, allowing for intervention and preventing potentially life-threatening diseases.
