A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Sean Clare 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:

• 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.
• Hyperemesis Gravidarum: Hyperemesis gravidarum is severe morning sickness that requires medical attention to prevent dehydration and nutritional deficiencies during pregnancy.
• Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): Taking proactive steps to prevent STDs, such as using barrier methods and getting tested, empowers you to take control of your sexual health.
• Hemorrhage from Placenta Previa: Early detection of placenta previa through prenatal screenings is crucial to preventing serious complications, like significant blood loss, for both mother and baby.
• Miscarriages: While some miscarriages are unavoidable, proactive healthcare, including regular checkups and addressing underlying health issues, can significantly reduce the risk.
• Adenomyosis: Because adenomyosis can impact fertility, seeking preventive care and early detection allows for timely interventions, potentially preserving reproductive options and minimizing future complications.
• Gonorrhea Infections: Early diagnosis and treatment of gonorrhea infections significantly reduce the risk of pelvic inflammatory disease and other complications.
• Cervical Incompetence: Preventing premature birth due to cervical incompetence involves regular prenatal checkups to identify weakening of the cervix and allow for timely interventions like cerclage.
• Coagulation Defects in Pregnancy and Postpartum: Preventing complications during pregnancy and postpartum is vital, and managing any blood clotting problems is a key part of this.
• Cervical Polyps: Preventive care, including regular Pap smears and pelvic exams, plays a vital role in identifying cervical polyps, enabling timely intervention to minimize potential long-term health impacts.
• Gynecologic Cancer: Managing gynecologic cancers effectively through timely intervention helps prevent the spread of the disease and minimizes long-term health complications.
• Multiple Gestation: Carrying more than one baby (multiple gestation) increases the risk of complications, so early prenatal care is crucial for a healthy pregnancy.

Taking proactive steps is central to long-term health. Dr. Sean Clare 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: Protecting your future health is easy with proactive gynecologic cancer screenings, which can detect early signs of several types of gynecological cancers.
• Endometrial Ablation: Endometrial ablation is a procedure that can significantly reduce or eliminate heavy menstrual bleeding, improving your overall well-being and quality of life.
• Chlamydia Infection Screening: Take charge of your sexual health with a chlamydia screening—an important step in preventing complications like pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and infertility.
• Colposcopy: To help prevent cervical cancer, a colposcopy involves a visual examination of your cervix to detect and treat abnormal cells that might otherwise go unnoticed.
• Destruction or Excision of Lesion of Cervix (incl. LEEP): Protecting your long-term health, this treatment involves carefully removing suspicious tissue from the cervix to stop potential progression to cervical cancer.
• 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.
• Nuchal Translucency Screening: Nuchal translucency screening is an ultrasound scan during early pregnancy that checks for potential chromosomal abnormalities in your baby.
• Salpingo Oopherectomy: If you are at high risk for ovarian or fallopian tube cancer, a salpingo-oophorectomy is a surgical procedure that can be considered as a proactive step to significantly reduce your cancer risk.
• 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.
• C-Section: While aiming for a vaginal delivery, knowing about C-sections as a safe alternative ensures you're equipped to navigate unexpected challenges during labor.
• Syphilis Screening: Early detection is key to managing syphilis, a serious infection. A syphilis screening provides peace of mind and facilitates prompt treatment if needed.
