Treatment for endometriosis aims to manage pain and improve fertility if desired.

Your first prenatal visit with Dr. Dehinbo is usually quite comprehensive, typically scheduled around 8-10 weeks of pregnancy.

Does Dr. Dehinbo support VBAC (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean)?

VBAC can be a safe option for many women who have had a previous Cesarean section.

He will assess your individual suitability for VBAC and discuss the benefits and risks with you. Hospital policies also play a role in VBAC availability.
