A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Ezekiel Osuntogun 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:

• Gestational Diabetes: Preventive care during pregnancy includes screening for gestational diabetes, which helps ensure a healthy pregnancy and reduces the chance of complications for your baby.
• Pelvic Abscess: A pelvic abscess is a collection of pus in the pelvic area, and early detection through regular OB/GYN checkups can help prevent serious complications like sepsis.

• Blood Disorders in Pregnancy: Regular checkups with your OB/GYN, including blood tests, help identify and manage potential blood disorders, protecting your pregnancy.
• Genital Herpes: Protecting yourself from genital herpes involves practicing safe sex and getting tested regularly, as early diagnosis allows for better symptom management and reduces the risk of long-term complications.
• Pregestational Diabetes Mellitus: Managing your blood sugar levels before conception significantly lowers your risk of pregnancy-related complications associated with pre-gestational diabetes.
• Tubo-Ovarian Abscess: A tubo-ovarian abscess is a serious infection that can develop in the fallopian tubes and ovaries, highlighting the importance of regular checkups to catch and treat infections early before they become more severe.
• Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): Regular STD testing is key to preventing serious long-term health problems, including infertility and chronic pain.
