What is Endometrial Ablation Surgery?
Endometrial ablation is a medical procedure that removes or destroys the lining of the uterus (endometrium) to reduce or stop abnormal uterine bleeding. It is a non-hormonal solution designed for women who experience heavy periods that affect their daily activities. Various methods, including heat, cold, or radiofrequency energy, can be used for ablation. While it does not serve as birth control, it significantly decreases menstrual flow and, in some cases, stops it altogether. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, ensuring a quick recovery with minimal downtime.
