Step 1.

The Consultation

Depending on the patient’s age and history, we usually perform additional testing including pap smears, blood test, biopsy of the lining of the uterus and an ultrasound. Our physicians then discuss options for the treatments of excessive/abnormal menstrual bleeding based on the findings and discuss the pros/cons , recovery and potential side effects of each option.
