A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Terry Haag 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:

• Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STDs): Many STDs are easily treatable if caught early, significantly reducing the risk of lasting damage to your reproductive system.

• Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Managing abnormal uterine bleeding early can help minimize disruptions to your daily life and prevent potentially serious health consequences down the line. Regular OB/GYN visits are crucial.
• Symptomatic Menopause: Experiencing symptoms like hot flashes, night sweats, or mood changes during perimenopause or menopause? Addressing these symptoms early can help prevent long-term health issues and improve your overall well-being.
• Nipple Discharge: Preventative care includes monitoring your body for unusual changes. If you have nipple discharge, consulting a doctor helps ensure early detection of any potential issues.
• Atrophic Vaginitis: Don't ignore vaginal dryness and discomfort – these could be signs of atrophic vaginitis, a manageable condition when diagnosed early, so schedule a check-up with your doctor.
• 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.
• Urinary Tract Infection (UTI): Early detection of a UTI through recognizing symptoms like burning urination and frequent urges is key to preventing serious kidney infections and long-term health issues.
• Yeast Infections: Regular check-ups with your OB/GYN can help identify and treat yeast infections early, reducing their frequency and impact on your daily life.
• Hyperemesis Gravidarum: Managing hyperemesis gravidarum through proper treatment helps ensure a healthy pregnancy and reduces the risk of complications for the mother.
• Breech Position: Prenatal monitoring for breech position minimizes potential birth complications by enabling a proactive approach to delivery, promoting the well-being of both mother and baby.

• Excision of Cervix: This procedure involves the surgical removal of abnormal cervical tissue to eliminate the risk of developing cervical cancer, ensuring a healthier and safer reproductive future.
• Bacteriuria Screening: For proactive health management, a bacteriuria screening allows for early detection of bacteria in your urine, helping to prevent potential complications associated with UTIs.
• First Trimester Screening: Ensure your baby's well-being with first trimester screening—a combination of tests that check for potential genetic issues and chromosomal abnormalities during the critical early stages of pregnancy.
• Infertility Evaluation: Proactively assess your fertility with an evaluation to uncover underlying problems that might be hindering your ability to conceive.

• 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.
• Rh Incompatibility Screening: Rh incompatibility screening helps determine if your blood type could pose a risk to your baby during pregnancy, allowing for early intervention to prevent serious complications.
