A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Rasiklal Nagda 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:

• Multiple Gestation: Carrying more than one baby (multiple gestation) increases the risk of complications, so early prenatal care is crucial for a healthy pregnancy.
• Tubal Pregnancy: A tubal pregnancy, where a fertilized egg implants in the fallopian tube instead of the uterus, is a serious condition that requires prompt medical attention to prevent potentially life-threatening complications.
• Placenta Previa: Placenta previa is a condition where the placenta partially or completely covers the cervix, and early detection through prenatal care helps prevent serious complications during delivery.
• Trichomoniasis: Protecting yourself from trichomoniasis through safe sex practices is a vital part of preventive women's health, minimizing the risk of long-term health issues.
• Vaginitis or Vaginosis: Regular OB/GYN visits are crucial for preventing complications from vaginitis and vaginosis, as early detection and treatment minimize the risk of secondary infections and improve your overall reproductive health.
• Tubo-Ovarian Abscess: Early detection of symptoms like pelvic pain and fever can be crucial in preventing a tubo-ovarian abscess from becoming a life-threatening condition, emphasizing the need for immediate medical attention.
• 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: Identifying risk factors early in pregnancy allows healthcare providers to implement preventive measures, like specialized monitoring or medication, to minimize potential complications.
• Uterine Cancer: Managing conditions like obesity and diabetes, known risk factors, can lower your chances of developing uterine cancer, illustrating the importance of preventive lifestyle choices.
• Gestational Diabetes: Regular checkups and blood sugar monitoring during pregnancy can identify gestational diabetes early, allowing for timely intervention and reducing long-term health problems.
• Breech Position: Knowing your baby's position through consistent prenatal visits helps your healthcare provider determine the safest birthing plan, reducing the risk of birth trauma.
• Adenomyosis: Adenomyosis, a condition where tissue that normally lines the uterus grows into the muscle layer, can be managed effectively with early diagnosis and treatment, preventing severe pain and improving quality of life, emphasizing the need for proactive healthcare.

• Birth Control: Prevent unwanted pregnancies and experience better menstrual health through a personalized discussion about available birth control methods.
• Rh Incompatibility Screening: Protecting your future baby's health starts with an Rh incompatibility screening, which proactively identifies potential blood type issues that could cause complications.
• Gynecologic Cancer Screening: Early detection saves lives: Gynecologic cancer screenings are vital preventative measures to identify and treat cancers of the cervix, uterus, and ovaries early on.
• Destruction or Excision of Vaginal Lesions: Protecting your vaginal health starts with removing abnormal tissue that could potentially lead to more serious conditions.
• Colposcopy: Colposcopy is a simple procedure that uses a special magnifying tool to examine your cervix for any abnormal cells that could lead to cervical cancer.
• 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.
• STD Screening: Investing in your health means getting regular STD screenings. These tests can identify infections you might not even know you have, enabling early intervention and better outcomes.
• Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): Taking a proactive step in your health, this treatment eliminates precancerous cells found on your cervix, helping to prevent cancer.
• 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.
• Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: Understanding your family history isn't enough; genetic testing provides a more precise assessment of your personal breast cancer risk, allowing for tailored management.
• HIV Screening: Knowing your HIV status is key to making informed decisions about your health and relationships. Regular screening provides peace of mind and facilitates early intervention if necessary.
