A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Elie Jr 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:

• Endometriosis: Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the uterine lining grows outside the uterus, and early diagnosis through regular checkups can help prevent painful symptoms and potential fertility issues.
• Miscarriages: Managing pre-existing conditions like diabetes or thyroid issues before and during pregnancy can lessen the likelihood of miscarriage.
• High Risk Pregnancy: A high-risk pregnancy means there are increased chances of complications for both the mother and baby, making early and consistent prenatal care crucial for preventing serious problems.
• Placenta Previa: Regular prenatal checkups are crucial for early identification of placenta previa, allowing for careful planning and management to reduce the risk of severe bleeding.
• Encounters for Normal Pregnancies: Regular checkups during a healthy pregnancy help identify potential problems early, allowing for timely intervention and a safer delivery.
• Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): Protecting yourself from STDs through safe sex practices and regular screenings can safeguard your reproductive health.
• Tubo-Ovarian Abscess: Managing underlying conditions and practicing good hygiene can help prevent infections that might progress to a tubo-ovarian abscess, emphasizing the role of preventive care in maintaining reproductive health.
• Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) means a baby isn't growing as expected in the womb, and early detection through regular prenatal checkups can help prevent serious complications.
• Yeast Infections: Regular check-ups with your OB/GYN can help identify and treat yeast infections early, reducing their frequency and impact on your daily life.
• Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Experiencing irregular bleeding? Don't delay seeking medical attention; addressing abnormal uterine bleeding promptly can help prevent anemia and other potential health problems.
• Gestational Diabetes: Gestational diabetes is a type of diabetes that develops during pregnancy, and early detection through prenatal screenings helps prevent complications for both you and your baby.
• Maternal Anemia: Regular blood tests and dietary adjustments can help prevent maternal anemia, a condition that can significantly impact your pregnancy's health and your baby's development.

• 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.
• Infertility Evaluation: Don't wait to start your family; an infertility evaluation helps pinpoint problems and guide you towards effective treatments for a smoother journey to pregnancy.
• Gonorrhea Screening: Take a proactive step towards your sexual health with a gonorrhea screening; early detection through this test is key to preventing long-term health issues.

• Salpingo Oopherectomy: To prevent certain cancers, a salpingo-oophorectomy involves the removal of the fallopian tubes and ovaries, a preventative measure discussed with your doctor based on your risk factors.
• Trichomoniasis Screening: Regular trichomoniasis screenings are important for preventing long-term health problems associated with this common infection, such as pelvic inflammatory disease.
