In-Office Evaluation Options

To make diagnosis easier and more convenient, Dr. Massey offers in-office testing and procedures, including:

  • Endometrial biopsy
  • Office hysteroscopy – a quick, minimally invasive way to view the inside of the uterus and identify abnormalities like polyps or thickened lining


These tools allow for accurate diagnosis without a hospital visit in most cases.

  • Hormonal treatments (such as pills, IUDs, or injections)
  • Non-hormonal medications
