A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Shruti Agarwal 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:

• 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.
• Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) is a hormonal disorder that can lead to irregular periods, weight gain, and fertility problems, but early diagnosis and management can significantly reduce these risks.
• Uterine Fibroids: Though many women experience no symptoms, regular screenings help detect uterine fibroids early, preventing potential complications like infertility or the need for major surgery.
• Adenomyosis: Because adenomyosis can impact fertility, seeking preventive care and early detection allows for timely interventions, potentially preserving reproductive options and minimizing future complications.
• Gestational Diabetes: Managing gestational diabetes effectively through diet, exercise, and monitoring prevents potential risks like premature birth and birth defects.
• 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.
• Hypertension: Even if you feel fine, hypertension often has no symptoms. Regular blood pressure checks are essential for early detection and proactive management.
• Mastodynia: Don't ignore breast pain; mastodynia can sometimes indicate an underlying condition. Preventive care includes regular breast self-exams and professional assessments to catch problems early and manage pain effectively.
• Intrauterine Growth Restriction: Careful monitoring during pregnancy can help identify intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) early, allowing for timely interventions that improve the baby's chances of a healthy outcome.
• Salpingitis: Regular OB/GYN visits are crucial for preventing salpingitis; early detection of this fallopian tube infection can help prevent serious consequences like ectopic pregnancies and infertility.
• Anogenital Pruritis: Don't ignore persistent itching around your genitals; it could be a sign of an infection or other condition, and early intervention is key to preventing long-term issues.
• Pregestational Diabetes Mellitus: Having diabetes before getting pregnant increases risks for both you and your baby, so getting checked and managing your blood sugar is crucial for a healthy pregnancy.

• 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.

• Intrauterine Device (IUD) Placement: Proactively manage your family planning by choosing IUD placement, a convenient and reliable form of contraception that can last for years.
