        A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Kamila Malinowska 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:

        • Coagulation Defects in Pregnancy and Postpartum: Preventing complications during pregnancy and postpartum is vital, and managing any blood clotting problems is a key part of this.
        • Breech Position: Early identification of a breech presentation during pregnancy allows for interventions like external cephalic version (ECV) or planning for a Cesarean section, potentially preventing complications during delivery.
        • Breast Lump: Many breast lumps are benign, but some can be cancerous, highlighting the importance of prompt medical evaluation for any new or changing breast lump to prevent potential complications.
        • Breast Cancer: Understanding your family history and risk factors for breast cancer empowers you to make informed decisions about preventative measures and screenings.
        • Eclampsia: Eclampsia's severe seizures can be avoided by attending all scheduled prenatal appointments and proactively addressing high blood pressure during pregnancy.
        • Acute Vaginitis: Acute vaginitis, or a sudden vaginal infection, can be prevented with good hygiene practices and early detection through regular checkups, avoiding serious complications.
        • Excessive Menstrual Bleeding: Prolonged or unusually heavy periods can disrupt your daily life; preventive care helps identify the cause and find effective management strategies.
        • Obesity Complicating Childbirth: Managing obesity before conceiving helps minimize risks of complications during labor and delivery, such as cesarean section or postpartum hemorrhage.
        • 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.
        • Uterine Carcinoma: Understanding your risk factors for uterine cancer, such as age and family history, empowers you to make informed choices about preventive screenings and lifestyle adjustments.
        • Acute Cervicitis: Regular Pap smears and STI screenings are vital in preventing the progression of acute cervicitis, a cervical infection that, if untreated, can have long-term consequences for your reproductive health.
        • Vaginal and Pelvic Prolapse: Vaginal and pelvic prolapse happens when pelvic floor muscles weaken, causing organs to slip down; proactive pelvic floor exercises and lifestyle changes can help prevent this.

        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. Accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment plans are developed based on individual patient evaluations.

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

        • Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: Discuss vaginal delivery and VBAC possibilities with your OB/GYN to assess the risks and benefits based on your individual circumstances and prior pregnancies.
        • Pregnancy Ultrasound: A pregnancy ultrasound is a safe and painless way to monitor your baby's growth and development, helping to identify potential issues early on.
        • Vaginal Prolapse Surgery: Taking charge of your pelvic health, vaginal prolapse surgery offers a solution to address organ prolapse, relieving discomfort and improving symptoms.
        • 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.
        • Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: Genetic screening for breast cancer helps identify your risk of developing this disease, allowing for proactive steps like increased surveillance or preventative measures.
        • Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: Take control of your reproductive health with an IUD placement—a safe and effective method for long-term birth control that significantly reduces unplanned pregnancies.
        • Amniocentesis: Amniocentesis is a prenatal test that allows doctors to check your baby's chromosomes for potential genetic abnormalities, helping you make informed decisions about your pregnancy.
        • Fetal Ultrasound: Empower yourself with knowledge about your baby's health with a fetal ultrasound; it's a key part of prenatal care, helping identify any concerns and allowing for proactive management.
        • STD Screening: STD screenings are a simple yet powerful way to safeguard your sexual and overall health. Early diagnosis through testing allows for effective treatment and helps prevent the spread of infection.
        • Salpingo Oopherectomy: As a proactive step in managing your reproductive health, a salpingo-oophorectomy might be considered to significantly lower your chances of developing ovarian or fallopian tube cancers.
        • Menopause Evaluation and Treatment: Invest in your long-term health by seeking a menopause evaluation to address hormonal imbalances and improve your quality of life.
        • Tubal Ligation: For women who are certain they do not want future pregnancies, tubal ligation offers a permanent and proactive solution.
