• Cervical Cancer: Regular Pap smears and HPV tests are crucial for early detection of cervical cancer, allowing for prompt treatment and preventing progression to more serious stages.
• Breast Cancer: Lifestyle choices like maintaining a healthy weight and exercising regularly can reduce your risk of developing breast cancer and promote overall well-being.

• Salpingo Oopherectomy: As a proactive step in managing your reproductive health, a salpingo-oophorectomy might be considered to significantly lower your chances of developing ovarian or fallopian tube cancers.
• Vaginal Prolapse Surgery: As a proactive measure to manage symptoms like pelvic pressure and urinary incontinence, vaginal prolapse surgery can significantly improve your comfort and quality of life.
