• Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS): By closely following your doctor's recommendations during fertility treatments, you can significantly reduce your risk of developing OHSS and its associated complications.
• Vaginal Fistula: Preventing prolonged or obstructed labor is crucial for avoiding vaginal fistulas, a serious condition requiring surgery, highlighting the importance of prenatal care and proper birthing assistance.
• Asherman Syndrome: To prevent complications from Asherman syndrome, such as recurrent miscarriages, it's vital to have open communication with your doctor and seek prompt treatment if diagnosed.
• Placenta Disorders: Careful monitoring and management of placenta disorders during pregnancy significantly reduces the risk of premature birth, fetal distress, and other adverse outcomes for both mother and baby.

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

• Ultrasound, Pelvic: A pelvic ultrasound is a simple, effective way to monitor the health of your reproductive organs and detect any abnormalities early, helping prevent future health problems.
• Removal of Reproductive Organs (Hysterectomy, Oophorectomy, Salpingectomy, Salpingo-Oophorectomy, Resection of Peritoneal Malignancy): A hysterectomy, oophorectomy, or other related surgeries may be recommended to address existing reproductive health issues or to significantly reduce the risk of developing certain cancers.
• Childbirth: Childbirth is a transformative experience, and preparing for it through prenatal care ensures the health of both you and your baby.
• Laparoscopic Salpingectomy: As a preventive measure, laparoscopic salpingectomy is a surgical option to remove your fallopian tubes, which may lower your risk of certain types of cancer.
• Bone Density Scan: Taking charge of your bone health is crucial, and a bone density scan helps screen for osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and increases fracture risk, allowing for early intervention.
• Infertility Evaluation: Proactively assess your fertility with an evaluation to uncover underlying problems that might be hindering your ability to conceive.
• HIV Screening: Knowing your HIV status is key to making informed decisions about your health and relationships. Regular screening provides peace of mind and facilitates early intervention if necessary.
