Expectant management is commonly used in various medical scenarios, including:
Pregnancy Complications: In cases like preterm premature rupture of membranes (PPROM) or mild preeclampsia, expectant management may be adopted to prolong pregnancy while closely monitoring the mother and fetus. Cancer: For certain types of slow-growing cancers, such as prostate cancer, expectant management may be chosen to avoid unnecessary treatments and their side effects. Chronic Conditions: Conditions like chronic kidney disease or heart failure may benefit from close monitoring rather than immediate aggressive treatments.
