Heavy Period Treatment in St. Petersburg, FL
Endometrial ablation is a minimally invasive procedure done to remove the lining of the uterine cavity, known as the endometrium.
The endometrium is the layer of tissue inside the uterus. The cells have a monthly cycle of growth and collapse, in preparation for the implantation of a fertilized embryo. If there is no pregnancy, the endometrial cells die and shed, starting your menstrual flow.
Endometrial ablation helps to remove or thin the lining of the uterus.

Benefits of Endometrial Ablations

- Reduction in period pain
- Improvement in PMS symptoms
- Increase in days you feel like having sex due to fewer symptoms

Considering NovaSure? You'll need to think about birth control too.
After the NovaSure procedure, it is still possible to get pregnant. Since pregnancy after any endometrial ablation procedure is dangerous for both the mother and the fetus, you'll need to rely on long-term birth control after the procedure.
It's very important to talk to your doctor ahead of time about what birth control method you will use after the NovaSure procedure.
