Endometrial Ablasion

Endometrial ablation is a medical procedure used to treat heavy menstrual bleeding by removing or destroying the lining of the uterus (the endometrium). This can help reduce or eliminate bleeding, often improving quality of life for women who experience severe menstrual issues. The procedure can be done in several ways, including using heat, electricity, or freezing techniques. It is typically performed in an outpatient setting, meaning patients can go home the same day. Endometrial ablation is considered when other treatments have not been effective and is not recommended for women who wish to become pregnant in the future.
