Endometrial Ablation |
| Endometrial ablation is an outpatient procedure performed through the vagina that can stop your periods forever! Endometrial ablation is an office procedure which destroys only the inside bleeding portion of the uterus. In 1992 Dr. Daum performed the first ablation in the Methodist hospital system. Endometrial ablation is not a hysterectomy, it does not cause menopause or change in your own hormonal production. There are no incisions, and pain is minimal. Most women can return to work in one day. Until recently the procedure was limited to the operating room, but now can be safely and painlessly performed in the office. The office setting is less expensive, more comfortable, and just as effective. A full operating rooom team comes to the office, complete with two nurses and an anesthesiologist. Light general anesthesia is used, you don't feel a thing.Dr. Daum uses the Novasure technique, with overall satisfaction rates of 92%. Some women will have some residual spotting each month, but the majority will have no more periods at all. If you suffer from excess menstrual bleeding and want to avoid hysterectomy, call Dr. Daum and see if ablation is right for you. |
