Many women suffer from heavy menstrual cycles. There are various treatment options for heavy menstrual cycles and one of these options is an endometrial ablation. For women that may have failed hormonal therapy and do not have any contraindications to an ablation this can be a very safe and effective procedure.
An endometrial ablation is a procedure that destroys the endometrial tissue. The endometrial tissue is what bleeds every month with a menstrual cycle. The Novasure endometrial ablation utilizes Radio- frequency technology to destroy the endometrial tissue. For the patient that does not have contraindications to the procedure it can be very effective with many women never having cycles after the procedure. In addition, the procedure has very little downtime or side effects
For over 20 years we have been doing endometrial ablation in our office with the assistance of an anesthesiologist. Not every patient is a candidate for an in office ablation.
If you are suffering from heavy menstrual cycles and think you might be a candidate for an endometrial ablation contact our office for an evaluation.
