Endometrial Ablation

Endometrial ablation is a minimally invasive procedure designed to permanently reduce or stop menstrual bleeding. It offers an effective alternative to hormone therapy or hysterectomy for women experiencing heavy uterine bleeding.

How Does Endometrial Ablation Work?

At Southern Oregon Gynecology, we perform endometrial ablation using the Novasure device, a highly advanced tool that allows us to deliver precise and effective treatment. The procedure is performed in our office under local anesthesia with oral sedation, ensuring your comfort throughout.

Procedure Details

  • Preparation: Before the procedure, a hysteroscopy is conducted to provide a clear view of the uterine lining and optimize the results of the Novasure ablation.
  • Ablation Process: The Novasure device is then used to remove the endometrial lining, which is the tissue responsible for menstrual bleeding.
  • Recovery: Most patients experience little to no downtime and can resume normal activities the day after the procedure. Post-procedure bleeding can vary from light to moderate and may last from zero days to six weeks.
