Endometrial ablation is a procedure aimed at destroying the lining of the uterus, known as the endometrium. Its primary goal is to reduce menstrual flow, and in some cases, it may even stop menstruation altogether.

The procedure is minimally invasive, requiring no cuts. A healthcare provider inserts thin instruments through the vagina and into the cervix, which is the natural opening of the uterus.

Various methods are used to ablate the endometrium, including extreme cold, heated fluids, microwave energy, or high-energy radio frequencies, depending on the specific technique chosen.

Endometrial ablation can be performed either in a healthcare provider's office or in an operating room. Factors such as the size and condition of the uterus, the patient's overall health, and the preferences of the healthcare provider determine which method of endometrial ablation is most suitable.

Why it is performed

Endometrial ablation is recommended as a treatment for severe menstrual bleeding. You may consider this procedure if you experience:

Exceptionally heavy periods are often characterized by needing to change a pad or tampon every two hours or less.

Prolonged bleeding lasting more than eight days.

Anemia is defined as a decreased red blood cell count caused by significant blood loss.

In addition to endometrial ablation, your healthcare provider might also suggest birth control pills or an intrauterine device (IUD) to help reduce menstrual flow. These options aim to alleviate heavy bleeding and improve the quality of life for patients experiencing significant menstrual issues.
