A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Francisco Tudela 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:

• Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Preventing complications associated with intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) starts with consistent prenatal care, enabling early diagnosis and allowing healthcare providers to create a tailored management plan.
• Sexual Disorders: Addressing sexual health concerns early can prevent long-term relationship issues and improve overall well-being.
• Uterine Prolapse: Maintaining a healthy weight and practicing good pelvic floor health can significantly reduce your risk of developing uterine prolapse.
• Genitourinary Tract Infections in Pregnancy: Preventing urinary tract infections (UTIs) during pregnancy is crucial for a healthy pregnancy, as UTIs can lead to serious complications if left untreated.
• Rectovaginal Fistula: A rectovaginal fistula is an abnormal connection between the rectum and vagina, and early detection through regular checkups can prevent serious complications like infection and incontinence.
• 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.
• Pap Smear Abnormalities: Don't ignore an abnormal Pap smear result. It's an opportunity for early detection and treatment, reducing your chances of developing serious health problems later on.
• Cervicitis: Regular OB/GYN checkups are crucial for early detection of cervicitis, a cervical inflammation that, if left untreated, can lead to serious reproductive health issues.
• Noninflammatory Cervical Disorders: Many non-inflammatory cervical issues are manageable, and early diagnosis through routine Pap smears and pelvic exams significantly reduces the chances of long-term problems.
• 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.
• Chronic Vaginitis: Early detection and treatment of chronic vaginitis are crucial for preventing discomfort, potential infections, and impact on overall sexual and reproductive health.
• Acute Vaginitis: Catching acute vaginitis early through self-awareness and regular OB/GYN visits is crucial for preventing discomfort and potential spread of infection.
