I have uterine fibroids. What treatment options might Dr. Kanee suggest?

Treatment for uterine fibroids depends on their size, number, location, and the severity of your symptoms (like heavy bleeding or pain), as well as your reproductive goals. Options range from watchful waiting for asymptomatic fibroids, to medications (hormonal therapies to manage symptoms), to minimally invasive procedures (like uterine artery embolization - often by interventional radiology), or surgical removal of fibroids (myomectomy) or the uterus (hysterectomy). Dr. Kanee will help you decide the best course of action.

Does Dr. Kanee discuss or offer the HPV vaccine?

The Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine is highly effective in preventing infections with HPV types that cause most cervical cancers, as well as other anogenital and oropharyngeal cancers.

What is an IUD insertion like? Does Dr. Kanee perform this?

Yes, Dr. Kanee can perform IUD (Intrauterine Device) insertions in the office. The procedure involves placing a small, T-shaped device into your uterus for long-acting, reversible contraception.

The actual insertion usually takes only a few minutes.

Many of these can be performed using minimally invasive techniques like laparoscopy or hysteroscopy. Dr. Kanee will discuss if surgery is appropriate for your condition and explain the specific procedure, risks, and benefits.
