• Hepatitis B Virus Screening: Hepatitis B screening is a straightforward blood test that helps diagnose infection, allowing for early treatment to minimize the risk of chronic liver disease.
• Endocervical Curettage: Taking a proactive step towards better health, an endocervical curettage involves collecting a sample of cells from your cervix to screen for precancerous or cancerous changes.
• Hysterectomy: In cases of severe uterine prolapse or other pelvic organ prolapse conditions, a hysterectomy can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan to restore pelvic support and alleviate symptoms.
• Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: Understanding your family history isn't enough; genetic testing provides a more precise assessment of your personal breast cancer risk, allowing for tailored management.

• Destruction or Excision of Vaginal Lesions: By removing abnormal vaginal lesions, we can prevent the development of more significant health problems and ensure your long-term vaginal health.
• Cholesterol Screening: Checking your cholesterol is a simple step toward preventing future heart problems and maintaining long-term well-being.

• Nuchal Translucency Screening: This early pregnancy ultrasound, called nuchal translucency screening, measures fluid at the back of your baby's neck to identify possible chromosomal problems.
• Gonorrhea Screening: Ensure your sexual health is in top shape with a gonorrhea screening. This test helps detect the presence of this infection and facilitates early treatment.
