Preventive health care involves measures taken to prevent diseases or conditions before they start. This includes regular check-ups, screenings, and vaccinations.

Common chronic diseases managed include diabetes, hypertension (high blood pressure), asthma, arthritis, and heart disease.

The frequency of health check-ups depends on your age, health status, and risk factors. Generally, adults should have a check-up at least once a year.

Women’s health services include gynaecological exams, prenatal care, family planning, breast health screenings, and menopause management.

Paediatric care includes well-child visits, vaccinations, developmental screenings, and management of childhood illnesses and conditions.

Types include transurethral resection of bladder tumor (TURBT), partial cystectomy, and radical cystectomy, depending on the tumor’s type and stage.

It’s a medical specialty focusing on women’s health, including pregnancy (obstetrics) and the female reproductive system (gynaecology).

OB-GYNs provide a wide range, from routine checkups and preventive care to pregnancy care, childbirth, minimally invasive surgery, and treatment for various gynaecological conditions.

Schedule your first well-woman exam at 13-15 and regularly throughout your life. See an OB-GYN for any concerns about reproductive health, menstruation, or pregnancy planning.

These include irregular periods, pelvic pain, abnormal bleeding, vaginal discharge, and difficulty with urination or intercourse.

Depending on your needs, OB-GYNs use tests like Pap smears, pelvic exams, ultrasounds, blood tests, and biopsies.
