A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Violeta Chiong 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:

• Ovarian Cysts: Regular checkups with your OB/GYN are crucial for early detection of ovarian cysts, preventing potential complications like pain or infertility.

• Perimenopause: Managing perimenopausal symptoms effectively, such as through lifestyle changes or hormone therapy, can significantly improve your quality of life and prevent potential long-term health complications.
• 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.
• 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.
• Yeast Infections: Understanding your risk factors for yeast infections, such as diabetes or antibiotic use, allows for proactive prevention strategies and healthier choices.
