• Imperforate Hymen: Regular pelvic exams are crucial for early detection of imperforate hymen, a condition where the vaginal opening is blocked, preventing infections and ensuring healthy menstrual flow.
• 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.
• Maternal Anemia: Preventing complications during pregnancy requires early detection and management of anemia, as it can lead to premature birth and low birth weight if left untreated.
• Adenomyosis: Recognizing symptoms like painful periods and heavy bleeding may indicate adenomyosis, making regular OB/GYN visits crucial for early intervention and avoiding potential need for more extensive treatments later.
• Uterine Cancer: Regular checkups, including Pap tests and pelvic exams, are crucial for early detection of uterine cancer, which significantly improves treatment outcomes and survival rates.
