A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Arkadiy Purygin 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:

• Preeclampsia: Preeclampsia can cause serious complications for both mother and baby, but early detection and proactive management through regular prenatal care greatly lessen these risks.

• Uterine Diseases: Regular checkups with your OB/GYN are crucial for early detection of uterine diseases, allowing for timely treatment and preventing serious complications.
• Pregnancy Hemorrhoids: Managing constipation and maintaining a healthy bowel routine are key steps in preventing pregnancy hemorrhoids and enhancing your overall well-being throughout your pregnancy.
