• Preeclampsia: Regular prenatal visits allow healthcare providers to monitor for signs of preeclampsia, enabling timely interventions to prevent severe complications such as seizures or premature birth.
• 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.
• Multiple Gestation: Understanding the increased risks associated with carrying twins, triplets, or more helps you and your doctor make informed decisions about your care, ultimately promoting a healthier pregnancy.
• Hypertension: Managing hypertension through lifestyle changes and medication, if needed, is crucial for preventing strokes, heart attacks, and kidney disease later in life.
• Cervical Polyps: Early detection of cervical polyps through routine screenings allows for prompt treatment if needed, reducing the risk of complications like heavy bleeding or difficulty conceiving.

• Pap Smear: Taking charge of your health starts with a Pap smear, a quick screening to identify precancerous changes in your cervix, preventing more serious issues later.
• Excision of Cervix: As part of comprehensive cervical cancer prevention, excision of the cervix removes affected cells, helping to prevent progression to more serious conditions.
• Pregnancy Non-Stress Test: This simple test screens for fetal distress during your pregnancy, helping to prevent complications and ensure a healthy delivery.
• Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: Take control of your breast health: genetic testing can reveal if you have gene mutations that increase your chances of getting breast cancer, enabling early intervention.
• Endometrial Ablation: Taking a proactive step towards better uterine health, endometrial ablation helps alleviate bothersome symptoms associated with heavy periods, such as fatigue and anemia.
• Pregnancy Ultrasound: Protect your baby's health with a pregnancy ultrasound; this imaging test allows for early diagnosis of birth defects and other potential problems.
• Colposcopy: As part of your routine women's health check-up, a colposcopy can provide a detailed look at your cervix to identify and address any potentially cancerous or precancerous areas early.
• Sexually Transmitted Infections Screening: Early detection is crucial for managing STIs. Regular screenings empower you to make informed decisions about your reproductive health.
• Pregnancy Test: Take charge of your reproductive health by using a pregnancy test to confirm or rule out pregnancy early.
