A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Bailey Bunce 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 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.
• Endometriosis: Because endometriosis can impact fertility, seeking medical attention to manage symptoms and potential risk factors can improve your chances of conceiving in the future.
• Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: PCOS, a condition affecting hormone balance, often goes undiagnosed, so regular checkups with your OB/GYN are vital for early detection and preventing complications.
• Noninflammatory Cervical Disorders: Regular check-ups with your OB/GYN are crucial for early detection of non-inflammatory cervical disorders, allowing for timely intervention and preventing potential complications.
• Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) is a condition where the baby is smaller than expected for their gestational age, and proactive management helps reduce potential long-term health issues for the child.
• Excessive Menstrual Bleeding: Heavier-than-normal menstrual bleeding can indicate an underlying health issue, so seeking medical attention ensures early diagnosis and prevents potential complications.
• Vaginal Prolapse: Vaginal prolapse is a condition where the pelvic organs, such as the uterus or bladder, drop down into the vagina, and early detection through regular check-ups can help prevent further complications and discomfort.
• Uterine Fibroids: Uterine fibroids can affect fertility and pregnancy, so understanding your risk and seeking preventative care can help you plan for a healthy future.
• Adenomyosis: Recognizing symptoms like painful periods and heavy bleeding may indicate adenomyosis, making regular OB/GYN visits crucial for early intervention and avoiding potential need for more extensive treatments later.
• 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.
• 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.
• Ovarian Cancer: Managing ovarian cancer effectively through prompt diagnosis and treatment helps to prevent the spread of the disease and minimizes potential complications.

This list highlights some common health concerns and is for informational purposes only. The best way to understand your personal health and create a prevention plan is to schedule a consultation.

• Colpopexy: Colpopexy is a surgical procedure that helps correct a condition called pelvic organ prolapse, improving your quality of life and preventing further complications.
• Obstetric Ultrasound: Protecting your baby's well-being starts with an obstetric ultrasound; this simple scan helps detect birth defects, multiple pregnancies, or placental issues early on.

• Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: For women experiencing debilitating symptoms from uterine conditions, a laparoscopic hysterectomy offers a less invasive surgical option to remove the uterus and improve quality of life.
• Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): This procedure removes abnormal cervical tissue to prevent the development of cervical cancer.
