Bleeding & Pelvic Pain

You are not alone. Many women suffer from bleeding and pelvic pain disorders due to changes in their bodies over the course of their lifetime. In Corona, California, Dr. Lawrence Koning and his staff are skilled in diagnosing and treating the underlying causes of bleeding and pelvic pain.

Causes of bleeding and/or pelvic pain may include:

• Uterine Fibroids
• Ovarian Cysts
• Endometriosis
• Thickened Endometrium
• Adhesions
• Ectopic Pregnancy

Learn more about heavy bleeding and painful periods and the procedures we offer that can stop your bleeding once and for all. In many cases, a quick, relatively simple outpatient procedure known as endometrial ablation can be done to stop the bleeding.

In some cases, you can avoid hysterectomy or major surgery altogether. Dr. Koning offers in-office ultrasounds to augment his examinations. A skilled surgeon, Dr. Koning frequently employs  a minimally invasive diagnostic laparoscopy  to determine the cause of bleeding.

Laparoscopy is usually done as outpatient surgery, allowing you to go home the same day.
