Endometrial ablation is a surgical procedure that removes or destroys the lining of the uterus. It’s a treatment option for women who suffer from excessive menstrual bleeding.
What It Treats
Endometrial ablation is primarily used to treat:
- Heavy menstrual bleeding that hasn’t responded to other treatments.
- Menstrual cycles that last longer than normal.
- Any other condition leading to heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding that affects your quality of life.
Benefits
Choosing to have an endometrial ablation can offer several benefits:
- It significantly reduces or completely stops menstrual bleeding.
- It’s less invasive than a hysterectomy and requires less recovery time.
- It may reduce the need for more serious surgeries in the future.
- It can improve your quality of life and free you from the discomfort and inconvenience of heavy bleeding.
What to Expect
Procedure Setting: Outpatient
Before: You’ll have a consultation with Dr. Warren and his team to ensure this procedure is right for you. Pre-procedure instructions will be provided.
During: The procedure typically takes about 30 minutes. It is often performed under general anesthesia or sedation.
After: Recovery time is short. You may experience some cramping or discharge for a few days. Most women can return to normal activities within a day or two. Follow-up care is important to monitor your healing and progress.
