Endometrial ablation is a great procedure for women who have abnormal bleeding patterns. It is quick, easy, and most patients recover by the next day.
Heavy menstrual bleeding can be more than just a monthly inconvenience; for some women, it's a serious health issue. Dr. Daniel Ferguson, an OB/GYN at Ogden Clinic, sheds light on a procedure called endometrial ablation in this episode of 'The Daily Diagnosis'. If you're soaking through pads or tampons every couple of hours, bleeding for more than eight days, or suffering from anemia due to blood loss, this episode is for you. Dr.
Ferguson breaks down how endometrial ablation works by removing the uterine lining to reduce or stop excessive bleeding. He discusses the two main methods he uses—novosur and hydrothermablation—and highlights the quick recovery time, with most patients bouncing back within a day. However, he notes that younger women might need the procedure repeated or even a hysterectomy if their endometrium regenerates. He also advises that women with ovulatory dysfunction should use contraception before undergoing the procedure.
Despite these considerations, the success rate is high, with about 90% of women over 50 reporting satisfaction. If heavy menstrual bleeding is affecting your life, tune in to learn more about this effective treatment option.
