Endometrial Ablation in Oviedo, FL

Are you seeking relief from the burdensome symptoms of heavy menstrual periods? Endometrial ablation offers a transformative solution. This surgical procedure effectively addresses heavy periods by permanently disrupting the innermost layer of the uterus. At OB/GYN Care Orlando, we specialize in performing endometrial ablation procedures, using state-of-the-art techniques and equipment to provide relief and enhance the quality of life for women in Oviedo, FL, and surrounding areas.

Endometrial ablation is a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to alleviate heavy menstrual bleeding. During the procedure, the inner lining of the uterus, known as the endometrium, is permanently removed or destroyed. This prevents the excessive growth of the endometrial tissue, which is shed during menstruation, leading to lighter periods or the cessation of menstruation altogether.

Endometrial ablation offers several benefits for women suffering from heavy menstrual periods. By eliminating or significantly reducing menstrual bleeding, this procedure can alleviate symptoms such as fatigue, pain, and irritation that often accompany heavy periods. Moreover, endometrial ablation is a safe and effective option for most patients, with minimal downtime and a quick recovery period.

OB/GYN Care Orlando utilizes the Novasure endometrial ablation system to address heavy menstrual bleeding. Novasure utilizes radiofrequency energy to precisely remove the endometrial lining, providing long-lasting relief from heavy periods. This trusted and well-researched device has helped countless women find relief from the debilitating symptoms of heavy menstrual bleeding.

Before endometrial ablation, patients undergo a thorough evaluation, including medical history and exams. Preoperative pain management may be administered, followed by local anesthesia to numb the cervix. The cervix is dilated, and a specialized device is inserted into the uterus for the ablation, usually done in-office and taking minimal time.

After endometrial ablation, patients can expect a brief recovery period before returning home. Some discomfort and cramping may occur in the days following the procedure, which can be managed with medication. A thin, watery discharge may also be present for a few weeks post-procedure.

While endometrial ablation is generally safe, there are some risks associated with the procedure, including bleeding, infection, and injury to surrounding organs. Patients considering endometrial ablation should discuss these risks with their healthcare provider and ensure that they are done with childbearing, as pregnancy following ablation can pose serious risks.
