What is an Endometrial Ablation?
Why an Endometrial Ablation?
If you're like 1 in 5 women with heavy periods, you want to get back to life. n Endometrial Ablation is a one-time, five-minute procedure that can lighten or end your heavy period. No pills. No hormonal side effects. For 77.7% of women, menstrual bleeding is dramatically reduced or stopped. It's a simple procedure that can be done in your doctor's office.
An endometrial ablation procedure works by removing the endometrium, or the lining of the uterus (the part that causes the bleeding), with a quick delivery of radio frequency energy.
Expectations
The procedure takes just 5 minutes and requires no incisions or hormones. Most women return to regular activity within a day and experience significantly lighter or no periods at all.
Your doctor slightly opens your cervix (the opening to the uterus), inserts a slender wand, and extends a triangular mesh device into the uterus.
The device gently expands, fitting to the size and shape of your uterus.
Precisely measured radio frequency energy is delivered for about 90 seconds, gently removing the lining of the uterus.
The device is pulled back into the wand and both are removed from the uterus.
