Defined Tag: Endometrial Ablation Procedure.

An endometrial ablation might be the recommended treatment if a woman is having heavy periods where the excessive bleeding is causing her to become unwell. Anemia is a common outcome for women who menstruate too heavily. Usually the health care provider will first try medication, and perhaps a few other alternatives, but if these do not work then the next step would be to consider the endometrial ablation procedure. It has a high success rate and is a relatively safe procedure that can be done in a doctor’s office or as an outpatient at the hospital. Sometimes, depending on the needs of the patient, the woman may stay overnight at the hospital.

Often preceding the surgery there may be a requirement to take medication for a couple of months. This medication is to diminish the thickness of the uterus’s lining. This is done to increase the chances of the surgery being successful. This operation is not a long procedure and usually takes less than an hour. In most cases, if it is done in the hospital, the endometrial ablation procedure is performed under a general anesthetic. This is an advantage since it means that the woman will sleep through the procedure waking after it is done having experienced no fear and no pain.

There are several steps in the endometrial ablation procedure. To begin with the surgeon must insert a telescope into the uterus to ensure that the surgery can see more clearly what they are doing. This device will be very thin; nonetheless the surgeon will require another device to enlarge the cervix. This is because normally the uterus is a closed organ that only enlarges to hold the growing fetus. Once the surgeon has enlarged the uterus the lining will be destroyed by one of several procedures. The most common device used burns the lining of the uterus and in this way stops the bleeding. There are other ways that this can be done. It can be accomplished by freezing, microwaves or lasers. One method is not necessarily better than another, the one chosen will be based on the needs of the patient and the recommendations of their health care provider.
