Endometrial Ablations
Endometrial ablation is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to destroy the lining of the uterus (endometrium) to treat abnormal uterine bleeding or significantly reduce menstrual flow. This procedure is an effective solution for women who experience heavy, prolonged, or irregular periods that have not responded to other treatments. At Revere Health, we provide endometrial ablation as an option for women seeking relief from heavy menstrual bleeding without the need for more invasive surgery like hysterectomy.
How Endometrial Ablation Works
The procedure involves using various techniques, such as heat, cold, or microwave energy, to destroy the uterine lining. The goal is to either stop or reduce menstrual bleeding by thinning or removing the tissue responsible for producing it. Endometrial ablation is typically performed on an outpatient basis, meaning patients can usually go home the same day and experience a relatively quick recovery.
When Is Endometrial Ablation Recommended?
Abnormal Uterine Bleeding: It is most commonly recommended for women suffering from excessive or irregular menstrual bleeding.
Menstrual Flow Reduction: For women who want to significantly reduce or eliminate their menstrual flow without undergoing a hysterectomy.
Non-Cancerous Causes: This procedure is appropriate when heavy bleeding is not caused by uterine cancer.
Benefits of Endometrial Ablation
Minimally Invasive: The procedure involves no major incisions, leading to a shorter recovery time.
Effective Results: Many women experience a dramatic reduction in menstrual flow, and some may stop having periods altogether.
Alternative to Hysterectomy: Endometrial ablation offers a less invasive option for managing heavy menstrual bleeding while allowing women to retain their uterus.
