Who needs gynecologic surgery?

Dr. Lee performs a range of gynecologic surgeries for a variety of issues. These may include procedures to remove atypical or pre-cancerous cells, masses, or tumors (sometimes called fibroids) from your reproductive system.

Dr. Lee may also recommend surgery to women who have issues with their menstruation cycles and need surgery to reduce the frequency or severity of their periods, such as an endometrial ablation, which requires no incisions.

He also performs gynecologic surgeries for women who have large inner or outer labia that pull or tug during intercourse, or who are uncomfortable with the appearance of their vulvas.
