A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Ingrid Dunn 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.

• Venous Thrombosis and Phlebitis in Pregnancy: Regular checkups with your doctor are important for early detection of blood clots during pregnancy, ensuring timely treatment to prevent life-threatening complications.
• Hemorrhage from Placenta Previa: Understanding your risk factors for placenta previa, such as previous cesarean sections, can help your doctor create a plan to minimize the chance of dangerous bleeding during pregnancy.
• 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.
• Placenta Previa: Understanding your risk factors for placenta previa and receiving appropriate prenatal care can help prevent emergency situations and ensure a safer pregnancy.
• Vulvar Cancer: Regular self-exams and checkups with your OB/GYN are crucial for early detection of vulvar cancer, significantly improving treatment outcomes and survival rates.
