A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Alana McGee 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:

• Venous Thrombosis and Phlebitis in Pregnancy: Venous thrombosis and phlebitis in pregnancy can be prevented through lifestyle modifications, appropriate medication, and close monitoring, ultimately protecting your health and the health of your baby.
• Breast Lump: Many breast lumps are benign, but some can be cancerous, highlighting the importance of prompt medical evaluation for any new or changing breast lump to prevent potential complications.
• Uterine Prolapse: Uterine prolapse, a condition where the uterus descends into the vagina, can be managed with lifestyle changes and treatments to avoid further organ prolapse.
• Gynecologic Cancer: Preventative measures, like regular Pap smears and pelvic exams, are key to detecting gynecologic cancers in their early, most treatable stages.
• Cervical Cancer: Cervical cancer, while preventable through vaccination and regular checkups, can be effectively managed if caught early, significantly reducing the chances of serious complications.
• Tubo-Ovarian Abscess: Early detection of symptoms like pelvic pain and fever can be crucial in preventing a tubo-ovarian abscess from becoming a life-threatening condition, emphasizing the need for immediate medical attention.

• Ovarian Cysts: Many ovarian cysts are harmless, but understanding your risk factors and having regular pelvic exams can help prevent serious issues from developing.
• Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Preventative care includes being aware of changes in your menstrual cycle. Abnormal uterine bleeding may indicate a need for diagnosis and treatment to avoid future difficulties.
• Vaginal Prolapse: Vaginal prolapse can worsen over time if left untreated; therefore, understanding your risk factors and seeking medical attention at the first sign of symptoms is key to managing its progression.
• Acute Vaginitis: Regular gynecological exams are essential for early detection of acute vaginitis, allowing for timely treatment and reducing the risk of recurring infections.
