A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Jennifer Troy 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:

• 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.
• Symptomatic Menopause: Managing symptomatic menopause through lifestyle changes and/or hormone therapy can significantly reduce discomfort and potentially lower your risk of long-term complications like osteoporosis.
• Genitourinary Tract Infections in Pregnancy: Managing genitourinary tract infections promptly during pregnancy lowers the risk of premature labor and other pregnancy complications.
• Cervix Carcinoma: By staying proactive with your gynecological health and undergoing recommended screenings, you can substantially minimize your risk of developing cervical cancer.
• Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Preventative care includes being aware of changes in your menstrual cycle. Abnormal uterine bleeding may indicate a need for diagnosis and treatment to avoid future difficulties.
• 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.
• Menstrual Disorders: Preventive care includes monitoring your menstrual cycle for changes that could indicate problems like endometriosis or PCOS, allowing for early intervention and better management.
• Atrophic Vaginitis: Don't ignore vaginal dryness and discomfort – these could be signs of atrophic vaginitis, a manageable condition when diagnosed early, so schedule a check-up with your doctor.
• Tubal Pregnancy: Understanding your risk factors for ectopic pregnancy, such as previous tubal surgery or pelvic infections, empowers you to take proactive steps to protect your reproductive health.
• Genital Herpes: Understanding the risks associated with genital herpes and taking proactive steps like safe sex practices and regular STI testing are essential to reduce your chances of contracting this infection.
• Uterine Carcinoma: Managing uterine cancer effectively, often through early intervention with surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy, helps prevent its spread and potential life-threatening complications.
• Cervicitis: Protecting your cervical health involves understanding cervicitis – inflammation of your cervix – and taking steps like practicing safe sex to lower your risk and catch any infection early.

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.

Taking proactive steps is central to long-term health. Dr. Jennifer Troy offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:

• Pregnancy Test: Ensure you are prepared for potential pregnancy by using a home pregnancy test and proactively planning for your health.
• First Trimester Screening: Ensure your baby's well-being with first trimester screening—a combination of tests that check for potential genetic issues and chromosomal abnormalities during the critical early stages of pregnancy.
• Oophorectomy: As a proactive measure, an oophorectomy may be recommended to remove one or both ovaries, often to lessen the chance of developing ovarian cancer or to manage other health issues.
• Mammography: Protecting your future starts with a mammogram, a painless imaging test designed to screen for breast cancer and improve your odds of survival.
• Birth Control: Prevent unwanted pregnancies and experience better menstrual health through a personalized discussion about available birth control methods.
• Endometrial Ablation: Taking a proactive step towards better uterine health, endometrial ablation helps alleviate bothersome symptoms associated with heavy periods, such as fatigue and anemia.
• Infertility Evaluation: An infertility evaluation helps identify any issues preventing pregnancy, allowing you to proactively address concerns and explore potential solutions.
• Obstetric Ultrasound: Take a proactive step in ensuring a healthy pregnancy with an obstetric ultrasound; it allows early detection of potential problems, enabling timely interventions.
• Syphilis Screening: Early detection is key to managing syphilis, a serious infection. A syphilis screening provides peace of mind and facilitates prompt treatment if needed.
• Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: This minimally invasive surgery, a laparoscopic hysterectomy, removes the uterus through small incisions, which can be a proactive solution for managing certain types of uterine cancer or precancerous conditions.
• Pap Smear: A Pap smear is a vital part of preventive care, allowing for the early detection of abnormalities that could potentially lead to cervical cancer.
• C-Section: Understanding the circumstances that may necessitate a C-section, like fetal distress or complications during labor, allows for proactive preparation and informed decision-making.
