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

• Gynecologic Cancer Screening: Invest in your well-being with regular gynecologic cancer screenings – a simple step that significantly improves your chances of early cancer detection and successful treatment.
• Amniocentesis: To proactively assess your baby's health, amniocentesis involves a small sample of amniotic fluid being taken to screen for chromosomal conditions and certain genetic defects.
• Excision of Cervix: As part of comprehensive cervical cancer prevention, excision of the cervix removes affected cells, helping to prevent progression to more serious conditions.
• Salpingectomy: Taking charge of your reproductive health, a salpingectomy is a surgical option to remove your fallopian tubes, lowering your chances of developing ectopic pregnancies and some ovarian cancers.
• Mammography: Take charge of your breast health with a mammogram—a simple screening test that can find breast cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages.
• Myomectomy: For women with symptomatic fibroids, a myomectomy offers surgical removal, addressing pain, bleeding, and potentially improving chances of future pregnancy.
• Vaginosis Screening: Vaginosis screening is a proactive step to check for an imbalance of vaginal bacteria that can lead to discomfort and infection, helping you maintain your vaginal health.
• 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.
• Bacteriuria Screening: A bacteriuria screening is a simple test to check for bacteria in your urine, helping detect urinary tract infections (UTIs) early before they cause serious problems.
• Endocervical Curettage: To proactively safeguard your health, an endocervical curettage is a procedure used to detect early signs of cervical cancer or other cervical issues, allowing for prompt treatment.
• Ovarian Cancer Screening: Empower yourself with knowledge: Ovarian cancer screening is a vital tool for early diagnosis, increasing your chances of successful treatment.
