A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Theresa Kuhn 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:

• Ectopic Pregnancy: Prompt diagnosis and treatment of an ectopic pregnancy are vital to protect your health and fertility, making regular reproductive health check-ups a key aspect of preventive care.
• 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.
• Female Infertility: Understanding and addressing potential risk factors for infertility early on can significantly increase your odds of conceiving naturally and reduce the need for extensive treatments.
• High Risk Pregnancy: Careful management of a high-risk pregnancy through regular check-ups and proactive interventions significantly reduces the likelihood of premature birth, low birth weight, and other adverse outcomes.
• Ovarian Cancer: Managing ovarian cancer effectively through prompt diagnosis and treatment helps to prevent the spread of the disease and minimizes potential complications.
• Encounters for Normal Pregnancies: Managing a normal pregnancy through routine visits allows healthcare providers to monitor your health and the baby's development, reducing risks.
• Dysmenorrhea: Don't suffer in silence with painful periods; early detection of dysmenorrhea and proactive management, including seeking medical advice, helps prevent debilitating symptoms and potential future issues.
• Excessive Menstrual Bleeding: Prolonged or unusually heavy periods can disrupt your daily life; preventive care helps identify the cause and find effective management strategies.
• Vulvovaginal Rhabdomyosarcoma: Understanding your risk factors and participating in regular preventive care, including pelvic exams, is important in detecting vulvovaginal rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare cancer of the vulva and vagina, at an early stage when treatment is most effective.
• Hypertension: Preventing long-term health complications associated with high blood pressure requires regular monitoring and appropriate treatment, starting with early detection.
• Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Preventative care includes being aware of changes in your menstrual cycle. Abnormal uterine bleeding may indicate a need for diagnosis and treatment to avoid future difficulties.

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

During your annual wellness exam, feel free to discuss any topics related to your menstrual cycle, sexual health, contraception, future pregnancy plans, or changes in your breast or pelvic health. We encourage open communication and proactive discussion; no question is off-limits.

What are uterine fibroids and should I be concerned?
