• Gynecologic Ultrasound: Schedule a gynecologic ultrasound to gain valuable insights into the health of your reproductive system. This non-invasive test can help detect issues early, paving the way for timely treatment and better long-term health.
• Vaginosis Screening: Vaginosis screening helps detect bacterial imbalances in the vagina, allowing for prompt treatment and preventing potential complications.
• Renal Scan: As part of your comprehensive health plan, a renal scan can help your doctor identify any abnormalities in your kidneys, potentially preventing serious complications down the line.
• Heavy Metal Detoxification: Ensure your body's optimal functioning with a heavy metal assessment, which helps detect and manage potential heavy metal toxicity.
