A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Isabel Llanes 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:

• Pap Smear Abnormalities: Abnormal Pap smear results can signal underlying issues that need attention; prompt diagnosis and treatment are key to preventing progression to more severe conditions.
• Tubal Pregnancy: Managing existing health conditions, like pelvic inflammatory disease, can reduce your chances of developing a tubal pregnancy and help ensure a healthy pregnancy in the future.

• Preeclampsia: Managing your blood pressure and overall health before and during pregnancy significantly reduces your risk of developing preeclampsia, a potentially life-threatening condition.
• 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.
• Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): Protecting yourself from STDs through safe sex practices and regular screenings can safeguard your reproductive health.
• Breech Position: Prenatal monitoring for breech position minimizes potential birth complications by enabling a proactive approach to delivery, promoting the well-being of both mother and baby.
