Did Endometrial Ablation Work for You?

About 10% of patients who undergo endometrial ablation stop menstruation altogether. In a further 70%, bleeding is effectively reduced. Many women who have painful periods or suffer from pre-menstrual syndrome also report significant improvement.

Is endometrial ablation worth it?

For many women, endometrial ablation is a good option because it is minimally invasive and avoids chronic medication use. Endometrial ablation can reduce abnormal bleeding or stop bleeding completely by destroying the lining of the uterus, or the endometrium, through high levels of heat.

What is the success rate of endometrial ablation?

Compared with hysterectomy, endometrial ablation has a number of advantages, including decreased operative time, decreased recovery time, and overall decreased cost. Success rates for endometrial ablation are high, with many studies confirming up to 90% satisfaction.
