A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Erin Bailey 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:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• Dysmenorrhea: Don't suffer in silence with painful periods; early detection of dysmenorrhea and proactive management, including seeking medical advice, helps prevent debilitating symptoms and potential future issues.
• 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: If your periods are significantly heavier than usual, talk to your doctor. This allows for timely intervention and reduces the risk of future health challenges.
• Coagulation Defects in Pregnancy and Postpartum: If you have a history of blood clotting disorders, proactive steps during pregnancy can safeguard your health and the health of your baby.
• Amenorrhea: Amenorrhea isn't always normal. Regular visits to your doctor enable early diagnosis of any underlying conditions causing absent periods, enabling treatment and minimizing health risks.
• Ovarian Cysts: Regular checkups with your OB/GYN are crucial for early detection of ovarian cysts, preventing potential complications like pain or infertility.
• Menstrual Disorders: Managing menstrual disorders proactively, such as heavy bleeding or absent periods, is crucial for preventing anemia, infertility, or other long-term health problems.
• Breech Position: Regular prenatal care helps detect if your baby is in a breech position, giving you and your doctor time to explore different delivery options to reduce potential risks during labor.
• Genitourinary Tract Infections in Pregnancy: Managing genitourinary tract infections promptly during pregnancy lowers the risk of premature labor and other pregnancy 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.
