If heavy menstrual periods interfere with your life, you are not alone. Did you know that three in ten women of reproductive age suffer from heavy periods? This bleeding can be emotionally and physically draining, causing many women to limit their activities and lifestyles. Many options for treatment are available, including drug therapy, minimally invasive treatments, or a hysterectomy.
You may be suffering from excessively heavy periods if any of the following happens regularly to you:
- Your period lasts longer than 7 days
- Your period contains blood clots
- Your period soaks through a tampon or pad every hour for 2 hours or more.
Endometrial ablation is a natural choice for women with heavy periods who are looking for an alternative to a hysterectomy. This reduces or eliminates menstrual periods in most women. This treatment can free you from the limitation and pain of heavy periods without removing your uterus or disrupting your natural hormones. Best of all, the procedure can be performed in only 20 to 30 minutes within our office suite with or without sedation.
Currently, Virginia Beach Obstetrics and Gynecology is offering two endometrial ablation procedures within our office suite, Thermachoice, and Novasure. Call today for an appointment to discuss your options, and whether or not endometrial ablation may be the solution for you
