• 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.
• High Risk Pregnancy: A high-risk pregnancy means there are increased chances of complications for both the mother and baby, making early and consistent prenatal care crucial for preventing serious problems.
• Salpingitis: Preventative care includes understanding the risks of salpingitis, an infection of the fallopian tubes, which can lead to infertility if left untreated; early intervention is key.
• Eclampsia: Eclampsia is a serious pregnancy complication characterized by seizures, which can be prevented through regular prenatal checkups and careful monitoring of blood pressure.
