A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Melissa Moore 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:

• Cervicitis: Preventing complications associated with cervicitis, an infection of the cervix, starts with regular screenings and practicing safe sex to reduce your risk of infection.
• 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.
• Pap Smear Abnormalities: Abnormal Pap smear results can signal underlying issues that need attention; prompt diagnosis and treatment are key to preventing progression to more severe conditions.
• 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.
• Placenta Previa: Proper monitoring during pregnancy, including ultrasounds, can reveal placenta previa early, allowing for timely interventions and a healthier pregnancy outcome.
• Ectopic Pregnancy: Early detection of an ectopic pregnancy through regular checkups is crucial to prevent potentially life-threatening complications such as internal bleeding and damage to reproductive organs.
• Maternal Anemia: Protecting your pregnancy involves proactively managing anemia; early identification and treatment minimize risks of complications for both you and your child.
• Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Managing abnormal uterine bleeding early can help minimize disruptions to your daily life and prevent potentially serious health consequences down the line. Regular OB/GYN visits are crucial.
• Genital Warts: Regular check-ups with your OB/GYN are crucial for early detection of genital warts, enabling prompt treatment and reducing the risk of spreading this infection.

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

• Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): This procedure removes abnormal cervical tissue to prevent the development of cervical cancer.
• Colporrhaphy: Colporrhaphy is a surgical procedure that repairs weakened vaginal walls, helping to prevent or alleviate pelvic organ prolapse and improve urinary and bowel control.
• Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: An IUD placement is a proactive step to prevent pregnancy for several years, offering a long-term, highly effective birth control solution.
• Hysterectomy: A hysterectomy is a surgical procedure to remove the uterus, sometimes including the cervix and ovaries, which may be necessary to alleviate severe symptoms or address underlying health concerns.
• Nuchal Translucency Screening: This early pregnancy ultrasound, called nuchal translucency screening, measures fluid at the back of your baby's neck to identify possible chromosomal problems.
• Infertility Evaluation: Early detection is key: an infertility evaluation can reveal hidden causes of infertility, allowing for timely intervention and improving your chances of getting pregnant.
• Laparoscopic Hysterectomy: For women experiencing debilitating symptoms from uterine conditions, a laparoscopic hysterectomy offers a less invasive surgical option to remove the uterus and improve quality of life.
• C-Section: While aiming for a vaginal delivery, knowing about C-sections as a safe alternative ensures you're equipped to navigate unexpected challenges during labor.
• Ovarian Cancer Screening: Take a proactive step towards your health by scheduling ovarian cancer screening; early detection significantly improves treatment outcomes.
