High-Risk Pregnancy

A high-risk pregnancy is when a woman has one or more things that raise her or her baby's chances for health problems.

Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia occurs when the diaphragm fails to close during prenatal development.

Congenital Heart Conditions

Congenital heart conditions are heart conditions or defects that develops in the womb, before a baby is born.

Gestational Diabetes

Gestational diabetes is diagnosed for the first time during pregnancy and causes high blood sugar that can affect your pregnancy and the health of your baby.

Genetic Disorders

A genetic disorder is a medical condition that is caused by a combination of gene mutations, environmental factors, or by damage to chromosomes.

Preeclampsia

Preeclampsia is a complication of pregnancy in which the mother has high blood pressure and potential damage to internal organs, such as the liver and kidneys. This condition typically develops after 20 weeks of pregnancy, before which the mother's blood pressure was normal.

Endometriosis

Endometriosis is a condition which tissue similar to the tissue that forms the lining of the uterus grows outside of the uterine cavity.

Pelvic Congestion Syndrome

Pelvic congestion syndrome is a condition that results in chronic pain, primarily in women in their childbearing years who had had multiple pregnancies. The condition is attributed to issues with enlarged veins in the pelvic region.

Interstitial Cystitis

Interstitial cystitis is a chronic bladder condition that results in pain , discomfort, and pressure in the bladder and sometimes in the pelvis. It is one of a group of diseases known collectively as panful bladder syndrome.

Pelvic Floor Tension Myalgia

Pelvic floor tension myalgia, also known as pelvic floor dysfunction, is a condition in which a person is unable to relax and control their pelvic floor muscles when having a bowel movement. This can result in symptoms such as constipation and the leakage of stool and urine.

Adenomyosis

Adenomyosis is a condition in which the inner lining of the uterus (the endometrium) breaks through the muscle wall of the uterus (the myometrium).

Postoperative Adhesions

Postoperative adhesions are areas in which scar tissue forms between two sections of tissue that have been sutured together. They are common after pelvic and abdominal surgeries and can cause blockage in the intestines, infertility, and other problems.

Pudendal Nerve Entrapment

Pudendal nerve entrapment occurs when the pudendal nerve, located in the perineum, becomes the source of significant pain, burning, or numbness. This can be cause by a number of things, such as time spent on horseback or on a bicycle or motorcycle or prolonged periods of sitting.

Obturator Nerve Neuralgia

Obturator nerve neuralgia is a severe stabbing or burning pain that is caused by the compression of the obturator nerve. The compression of this nerve can be due to entrapment of the nerve by tight muscles and tissues or by a hemorrhage, tumor, an abscess, endometriosis, or the cement used in hip arthroplasty.
