Endometrial Ablation is a good option for women who have problems with heavy menstrual flow without severe pain. Our office has offered Endometrial Ablation since 1991. This procedure is performed in an outpatient setting using hysteroscopy and either a coagulating electrode ball or mesh or heated balloon or fluid. The treatment destroys the lining of the uterus; leading to reduced or absent menstrual flow in 8 out of 10 cases. Risks of the procedure are similar to those of a D&C. Recovery is generally 2 days, including the day of surgery.
