Transvaginal sonography, saline infusion sonohysterogram, endometrial biopsies, cervical colposcopy and biopsy, vulvar biopsy and intense pulsed light (IPL) hair and skin lesion removal are also performed by the physicians.
Full pre- and post-procedure instructions are provided at the time of the procedure.
