A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Maya Kamath 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:

• Rectovaginal Fistula: Regular pelvic exams are key to preventing long-term problems from a rectovaginal fistula—an unusual connection between the rectum and vagina—as early diagnosis allows for prompt treatment.
• High Risk Pregnancy: Preventive care during a high-risk pregnancy involves close monitoring and tailored strategies to mitigate risks and ensure the healthiest possible outcome for both mother and baby.
• Twin Pregnancy: Preventive measures, such as healthy lifestyle choices and close medical supervision, significantly reduce the risks associated with twin pregnancies.
• Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Protecting your long-term health includes understanding your menstrual cycle. Unusual bleeding patterns should be discussed with your doctor to identify and manage any potential problems.
• Breech Position: Regular prenatal care helps detect if your baby is in a breech position, giving you and your doctor time to explore different delivery options to reduce potential risks during labor.
• Uterine Fibroids: Regular OB/GYN visits are crucial for early detection of uterine fibroids, allowing for timely intervention and reducing the risk of more invasive treatments later on.
• Perimenopause: Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, and understanding its symptoms early allows for proactive management of hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep disturbances, improving your overall well-being.
• 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.
• Cervical Polyps: Preventive care, including regular Pap smears and pelvic exams, plays a vital role in identifying cervical polyps, enabling timely intervention to minimize potential long-term health impacts.
• Menstrual Disorders: Irregular or painful periods can signal underlying health issues, so early detection through regular checkups with your OB/GYN helps prevent complications and ensures timely treatment.
• Chlamydia Infections: Regular checkups, including STI testing, can help detect and treat chlamydia early, preventing potential long-term reproductive health problems.
• Fallopian Tube Disorders: Understanding your risk factors for fallopian tube disorders, such as previous infections or pelvic inflammatory disease, is a key step in preventing future problems.

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. Maya Kamath offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:

• First Trimester Screening: First trimester screening is a simple blood test and ultrasound that helps assess your baby's risk for certain genetic conditions, allowing for early intervention and planning.
• Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): This procedure removes abnormal cervical tissue to prevent the development of cervical cancer.
• 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.
• Vaginal Prolapse Surgery: Proactively address pelvic floor weakness and prevent further complications by considering vaginal prolapse surgery as a restorative procedure.
• Fluid Contrast Ultrasound: Taking charge of your health means utilizing tools like a fluid contrast ultrasound, which enhances the visualization of your reproductive organs and helps identify any concerning changes before they become major problems.
• Destruction or Excision of Vaginal Lesions: This procedure helps identify and address precancerous or cancerous changes in the vaginal tissue, promoting early intervention and improved outcomes.
• Vaginosis Screening: Don't wait for symptoms – proactive vaginosis screening helps identify and address bacterial imbalances in your vagina, keeping you feeling your best.
• Vaginectomy: While not a preventative measure in itself, a vaginectomy is a surgical procedure that may be necessary to address advanced vaginal diseases or injuries, contributing to overall health.
• Colposcopy: Colposcopy is a screening procedure that helps detect and prevent cervical cancer by allowing for an in-depth examination of the cervix, leading to early diagnosis and treatment if needed.
• 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.
• Trichomoniasis Screening: Trichomoniasis screening is a simple test that can detect a common sexually transmitted infection, helping you get treatment early and prevent potential complications.
• Infertility Evaluation: Take a proactive step towards parenthood with an infertility evaluation; it's a comprehensive assessment that detects potential obstacles to conception.
