Endometrial Ablation

Endometrial ablation is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat heavy menstrual bleeding. It involves destroying the lining of the uterus (endometrium) to reduce or eliminate periods. Various techniques, like heat, cold, or microwave energy, can be used to perform the procedure. It's generally recommended for women who don't plan to become pregnant in the future, as it affects the ability to conceive. The procedure is usually done in an outpatient setting, and many women experience significant relief from heavy bleeding and related symptoms afterward. Recovery is typically quick, with minimal downtime.
