Endometrial Ablation is a surgical procedure recommended for individuals experiencing heavy periods that do not respond to medications. It involves the safe removal of the endometrium, which is the lining of the uterus. During the procedure, a thin and flexible tube called a Hysteroscope is inserted through the vagina by the surgeon. The womb is then expanded using fluid, and the surgeon uses electricity or laser to remove the lining of the womb. This treatment aims to alleviate heavy bleeding and improve quality of life for individuals suffering from this condition.
Endometrial Ablation treatment surgery is chosen when traditional medications fail to effectively manage heavy periods. This procedure offers a long-lasting solution to reduce or eliminate excessive menstrual bleeding. By removing the endometrial lining, it can significantly decrease menstrual flow and associated discomfort. Endometrial Ablation is a suitable option for individuals who desire to regain control over their menstrual cycles, improve their quality of life, and potentially avoid more invasive surgical procedures like hysterectomy.
During the Endometrial Ablation treatment, you can expect the procedure to be performed under local anesthesia, potentially with the option of sedation. The duration of the procedure typically lasts around 30 minutes, and in most cases, it can be completed as a day case, allowing you to return home on the same day. Following the treatment, you can anticipate a short recovery period, usually within a few days, before returning to your normal activities. Endometrial Ablation offers a minimally invasive solution for managing heavy periods, providing relief and the potential for a more balanced and comfortable menstrual cycle.
Recovery after Endometrial Ablation treatment is usually quick, with most individuals returning to their normal activities within a few days. This minimally invasive procedure, performed under local anesthesia, offers a convenient and effective solution for managing heavy periods, allowing for a speedy and comfortable recovery.
