A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Kiera Rahaim 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:

• Uterine Fibroids: Uterine fibroids are noncancerous growths in the uterus that, while often harmless, can cause heavy bleeding and pain, highlighting the importance of regular checkups for early detection and management to prevent complications.
• Acute Vaginitis: Managing acute vaginitis promptly, often with simple treatments, prevents potential long-term issues with your reproductive health and overall well-being.
• Blood Disorders in Pregnancy: Early detection and management of blood disorders during pregnancy can prevent serious complications for both mother and child.
• Hypertension: Hypertension is a risk factor for many health issues, so making healthy lifestyle choices and monitoring your blood pressure helps lower your chances of developing them.
• Asherman Syndrome: Preventing future infertility issues, early detection of Asherman syndrome, which causes uterine scarring, is vital for managing this condition and improving your chances of conceiving.
• Ovarian Cysts: Managing ovarian cysts through timely diagnosis and treatment, often involving monitoring or simple procedures, prevents more extensive interventions later.
• Ectopic Pregnancy: Knowing your risk factors for ectopic pregnancy, such as previous ectopic pregnancies or pelvic inflammatory disease, can help you work with your doctor to take preventive steps and ensure early detection.
• Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that can lead to irregular periods, weight gain, and fertility problems, but early diagnosis and management can significantly reduce these risks.
• HPV (Human Papillomavirus): HPV is a common virus that can be prevented through vaccination and regular screenings, helping to protect against cervical cancer and other health 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.
• Uterine Prolapse: Uterine prolapse is a condition where the uterus slips down into the vagina, and proactive pelvic floor exercises can help prevent or manage this.
• Female Infertility: Understanding and addressing potential risk factors for infertility early on can significantly increase your odds of conceiving naturally and reduce the need for extensive treatments.

• Vaginal Delivery and VBAC: Understanding your options for vaginal delivery, including VBAC if applicable, allows you to actively participate in creating a birth plan that aligns with your preferences and medical history.
• Hysterectomy: In cases of severe uterine prolapse or other pelvic organ prolapse conditions, a hysterectomy can be part of a comprehensive treatment plan to restore pelvic support and alleviate symptoms.
• Hormone Replacement Therapy: Proactive management of hormonal changes with HRT can play a role in preventing or managing various symptoms, enhancing your health journey during and after menopause.
• Pregnancy Non-Stress Test: A non-stress test during pregnancy helps monitor your baby's heart rate to ensure they're doing well and identify any potential problems early on.

• Fluid Contrast Ultrasound: As a proactive step in your wellness journey, a fluid contrast ultrasound provides detailed images of your internal reproductive system, allowing for early diagnosis of conditions like cysts or fibroids, potentially avoiding more invasive procedures later.
• 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.
• Gonorrhea Screening: Protecting your reproductive health starts with a gonorrhea screening, a quick test that can identify and treat this common STI before it causes problems.
