Endometrial Ablation
Endometrial Ablation is a minimally invasive gynecological procedure designed to treat abnormal or heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) in women who have not responded well to medical therapy.
-The procedure works by carefully destroying or removing the endometrial lining of the uterus, which is responsible for menstrual bleeding. By reducing or eliminating this lining, menstrual flow becomes significantly lighter, and in some cases, periods may stop altogether.
-Endometrial Ablation is typically recommended for women who have completed their families, as pregnancy after the procedure can be unsafe. It is performed using advanced techniques such as thermal energy, radiofrequency, cryotherapy, or microwave energy, depending on the patient’s anatomy and clinical condition.
-The procedure is usually done as a day-care surgery, requires minimal anesthesia, and allows for a quick return to normal activities. Proper patient selection, detailed pre-procedure evaluation, and expert execution are key to achieving long-term symptom relief and improved quality of life.
Understanding Endometrial Ablation
What the procedure actually does
Endometrial Ablation focuses on treating the root cause of heavy menstrual bleeding by targeting the endometrial lining rather than suppressing symptoms temporarily. From a clinical perspective, this approach is particularly valuable for women who wish to avoid long-term hormone therapy or major surgery like hysterectomy. The procedure is individualized, with the method chosen based on uterine size, shape, and underlying pathology, ensuring both safety and effectiveness.
- Primary Goal To significantly reduce or stop heavy menstrual bleeding by destroying the endometrial lining.
- Minimally Invasive Nature Performed without large incisions, resulting in less pain, minimal blood loss, and faster recovery.
- Patient Selection Best suited for women with heavy bleeding who do not plan future pregnancies.
- Technology Used May involve thermal balloons, radiofrequency devices, freezing techniques, or heated fluids.
