A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Ying Lei 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:

• Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: Protecting your long-term health includes understanding your menstrual cycle. Unusual bleeding patterns should be discussed with your doctor to identify and manage any potential problems.
• Gynecologic Cancer: Managing gynecologic cancers effectively through timely intervention helps prevent the spread of the disease and minimizes long-term health complications.
• HPV (Human Papillomavirus): Many HPV infections clear on their own, but some types can lead to cancer if left untreated; getting screened regularly helps catch and treat these infections early.
• Tubo-Ovarian Abscess: Regular gynecological exams help in the early diagnosis of infections that can potentially lead to a tubo-ovarian abscess, allowing for timely treatment and prevention of long-term complications like infertility.
• Coagulation Defects in Pregnancy and Postpartum: Regular checkups and proactive management of clotting issues are crucial for a healthy pregnancy and postpartum recovery.
• Uterine Prolapse: Understanding your risk factors for uterine prolapse, such as vaginal childbirth, helps you take proactive steps to maintain pelvic floor health.
• Vaginal Yeast Infection: Regular check-ups with your OB/GYN can help identify and treat vaginal yeast infections early, preventing discomfort and potential spread to other areas.
• Cervical Cancer: Cervical cancer, while preventable through vaccination and regular checkups, can be effectively managed if caught early, significantly reducing the chances of serious complications.
• Ovarian Cancer: Taking proactive steps to understand and manage your risk factors for ovarian cancer, such as genetic testing, empowers you to make informed choices and improve your long-term health.
• 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.
• Tubal Pregnancy: Early detection of a tubal pregnancy is crucial, as it allows for timely intervention and reduces the risk of rupture and internal bleeding, significantly improving your long-term health.
• Vaginitis or Vaginosis: Preventing complications from vaginitis or vaginosis starts with understanding your risk factors and practicing good hygiene; early diagnosis through regular screenings helps manage symptoms effectively.

Taking proactive steps is central to long-term health. Dr. Ying Lei offers a range of key preventive screenings and services designed to provide crucial insights into your health and support your well-being:

• Oophorectomy: Facing a high risk of ovarian cancer or managing specific health problems, an oophorectomy is a proactive surgical option to remove one or both ovaries and potentially prevent future issues.
• Nuchal Translucency Screening: To help ensure a healthy pregnancy, nuchal translucency screening uses ultrasound to assess your baby's risk for conditions like Down syndrome.
• Fetal Cardiac Screening: Fetal cardiac screening uses ultrasound to check your baby's heart development and identify potential problems early in pregnancy.
• Infertility Evaluation: Early detection is key: an infertility evaluation can reveal hidden causes of infertility, allowing for timely intervention and improving your chances of getting pregnant.
• 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: An IUD placement is a proactive measure for women seeking a long-term, reversible contraceptive option, minimizing the need for frequent visits to refill prescriptions or other measures.
• 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.
• Hepatitis B Virus Screening: A simple blood test, Hepatitis B screening helps detect the virus early, allowing for prompt treatment and preventing serious liver damage.
• Genetic Screening for Breast Cancer: Understanding your family history isn't enough; genetic testing provides a more precise assessment of your personal breast cancer risk, allowing for tailored management.
• HIV Screening: Protect yourself and your loved ones: an HIV screening is a vital step in preventing the transmission of this virus and ensuring your long-term well-being.
• Pap Smear: A Pap smear is a vital part of preventive care, allowing for the early detection of abnormalities that could potentially lead to cervical cancer.
• Vaginosis Screening: Protecting your reproductive health starts with vaginosis screening, which helps identify and treat bacterial imbalances before they cause serious problems.
