Willits - Kimberly R. Faucher, MD will be opening her
gynecology practice on August 25, 2008 in Willits, CA. She has been
addressing women’s health issues for over 20 years and recognizes
that there are medical and surgical options for many symptoms that
can have disruptive effects upon ones family, social life, daily
activities, and mood. Often patients do not address these symptoms,
as they do not understand that simple, safe and effective solutions
exist.
In Dr. Faucher’s experience, Menorrhagia (heavy periods) is one of
these disruptive experiences. Menorrhagia is a serious medical
condition that affects almost 20% of women. It is defined as
unusually heavy and or long-lasting menstrual periods. Based upon
your history and physical findings, your doctor can determine the
best treatment options for you to consider.
NovaSure is one of several treatment options you and your doctor may
consider. It is a brief, minimally invasive, procedure that
successfully treats Menorrhagia (heavy periods) in up to 90% of
cases. According to Dr. Faucher, “the procedure is brief, simple,
safe and an effective treatment for heavy menstruation. NovaSure is
an endometrial ablation procedure that delivers 90 seconds of
precisely controlled radio frequency energy thru a thin handheld
wand to remove (ablate) the lining of the uterus (endometrium). It
can be done without general anesthesia and does not require
incisions. Patients typically go home the same day and are back to
work in 1 or 2 days.”
Dr. Faucher has offered this attractive option to 100’s of women and
has reported excellent satisfaction. Arrangements have been made for
the NovaSure procedure to be a treatment option you and your
physician can consider at Frank R. Howard Memorial Hospital.
Appointments can be established with Dr. Faucher by calling (707)
