• Blood Disorders in Pregnancy: Early detection and management of blood disorders during pregnancy can prevent serious complications for both mother and child.
• Encounters for Normal Pregnancies: Regular checkups during a healthy pregnancy help identify potential problems early, allowing for timely intervention and a safer delivery.
• Perimenopause: Perimenopause is the transitional phase leading up to menopause, and understanding its symptoms early allows for proactive management of hot flashes, mood changes, and sleep disturbances, improving your overall well-being.
• Noninflammatory Cervical Disorders: Preventive care, including routine pelvic exams, is essential for detecting non-inflammatory cervical conditions early, which often leads to better treatment outcomes and avoids serious consequences.
• Pregnancy Hemorrhoids: Managing constipation and maintaining a healthy bowel routine are key steps in preventing pregnancy hemorrhoids and enhancing your overall well-being throughout your pregnancy.
• Placenta Previa: Regular prenatal checkups are crucial for early identification of placenta previa, allowing for careful planning and management to reduce the risk of severe bleeding.
• Uterine Prolapse: Maintaining a healthy weight and practicing good pelvic floor health can significantly reduce your risk of developing uterine prolapse.
• Menopausal and Postmenopausal Disorders: Taking proactive steps to manage menopausal symptoms can significantly reduce your risk of developing more serious health complications down the line.

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

• Colposcopy: Taking a proactive step towards cervical health, a colposcopy allows your doctor to closely examine your cervix for precancerous changes, allowing for early intervention.
• Fluid Contrast Ultrasound: As a proactive step in your wellness journey, a fluid contrast ultrasound provides detailed images of your internal reproductive system, allowing for early diagnosis of conditions like cysts or fibroids, potentially avoiding more invasive procedures later.
• Gonorrhea Screening: Protecting your reproductive health starts with a gonorrhea screening, a quick test that can identify and treat this common STI before it causes problems.
• Menopause Evaluation and Treatment: Take control of your perimenopause and menopause journey with a comprehensive evaluation to manage symptoms and prevent future health problems.
• Fetal Cardiac Screening: Ensure your baby's heart is developing properly with fetal cardiac screening, a crucial part of prenatal care that can detect abnormalities early.
• Colporrhaphy: Colporrhaphy is a surgical option to address vaginal wall weakening, improving quality of life by preventing prolapse and its associated symptoms.
• Gynecologic Cancer Screening: Take control of your health by scheduling routine gynecologic cancer screenings; these tests can find potentially life-threatening cancers in their earliest stages.
• Laparoscopic Oophorectomy: A laparoscopic oophorectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to remove one or both ovaries, sometimes proactively chosen to reduce the risk of ovarian cancer in high-risk individuals.
• 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.
• Tubal Ligation: As a proactive step in family planning, tubal ligation involves a surgical procedure to prevent eggs from reaching the uterus.
• Colpopexy: To proactively address pelvic organ prolapse, colpopexy is a surgical option that helps restore the proper position of your uterus, bladder, or rectum.

What kind of topics should I bring up during my annual wellness exam?

Are painful periods normal?

While some mild cramping is normal, severe, debilitating pain during your period is not. This could be a sign of an underlying condition like endometriosis or fibroids. Please contact Dr. Nagella's office to schedule a consultation so you don't have to suffer in silence.

I'm thinking about getting pregnant. What should I do to prepare?

Preparing for pregnancy is an excellent proactive step. A preconception counseling visit with Dr. Nagella can help discuss lifestyle factors, initiate folic acid, review current medications, and consider genetic carrier screening. Dr. Nagella is happy to partner with you in optimizing your health for a future pregnancy.

What are uterine fibroids and should I be concerned?

Uterine fibroids are very common, non-cancerous growths in the uterus. They are often asymptomatic, but can sometimes cause heavy bleeding or pain. Dr. Nagella can help monitor them and discuss treatment options if they become problematic.
