A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Usha Kundu 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:

• Yeast Infections: Preventing yeast infections involves practicing good hygiene and recognizing early symptoms like itching and discharge to avoid discomfort and potential complications.
• Adenomyosis: Adenomyosis is a condition where the uterine lining grows into the uterine muscle, causing painful periods and heavy bleeding, highlighting the importance of regular checkups for early detection and management to prevent complications like anemia.
• Hypertension: Managing hypertension through lifestyle changes and medication, if needed, is crucial for preventing strokes, heart attacks, and kidney disease later in life.
• Menstrual Disorders: Managing menstrual disorders proactively, such as heavy bleeding or absent periods, is crucial for preventing anemia, infertility, or other long-term health problems.
• Uterine Fibroids: Uterine fibroids can affect fertility and pregnancy, so understanding your risk and seeking preventative care can help you plan for a healthy future.
• Ovarian Cysts: Preventive care, including routine pelvic exams and ultrasounds, allows for the early detection and management of ovarian cysts, reducing the risk of long-term health problems.
• Gynecologic Cancer: Regular gynecological checkups, including screenings, are crucial for early detection of gynecologic cancers, significantly improving treatment outcomes and survival rates.
• Noninflammatory Cervical Disorders: Regular check-ups with your OB/GYN are crucial for early detection of non-inflammatory cervical disorders, allowing for timely intervention and preventing potential complications.
• Perimenopause: Proactive monitoring during perimenopause is crucial, as it's a time of hormonal fluctuations that can increase your risk for certain health concerns like osteoporosis; early intervention helps mitigate these risks.
• Uterine Prolapse: Uterine prolapse is a condition where the uterus slips down into the vagina, and proactive pelvic floor exercises can help prevent or manage this.
• Cervical Polyps: Managing cervical polyps, often through simple removal, is a key aspect of preventive women's health, ensuring reproductive health and preventing future complications like abnormal bleeding or infertility.
• Vaginal and Pelvic Prolapse: Vaginal and pelvic prolapse happens when pelvic floor muscles weaken, causing organs to slip down; proactive pelvic floor exercises and lifestyle changes can help prevent this.

• Mammography: Protecting your future starts with a mammogram, a painless imaging test designed to screen for breast cancer and improve your odds of survival.
