• Endocervical Curettage: As part of your preventive health plan, an endocervical curettage may be recommended to help your doctor accurately diagnose and treat any abnormalities found on your cervix.
• Fetal Ultrasound: Protect your baby's health by scheduling regular fetal ultrasounds; this important screening tool helps identify potential issues early on, optimizing your chances of a successful pregnancy.
