NovaSure Endometrial Ablation in St. Petersburg, FL
NovaSure endometrial ablation is a quick, in-office procedure that removes the endometrium, or lining of the uterus. Dr. Jain performs the ablation in about five minutes to stop excessive or extra heavy menstrual bleeding.
Thousands of women choose endometrial ablation because it’s less invasive than a hysterectomy and doesn’t include any of the downfalls of hormone therapy.
What can you Expect during NovaSure Endometrial Ablation?
NovaSure endometrial ablation only requires a few quick steps that Dr. Jain administers right in her clean and comfortable office. She gently opens your cervix to access your uterus and inserts a mesh device. The mesh is engineered to expand and fit your uterus. For about 90 seconds, precise waves of radiofrequency currents pulse through the mesh to remove the lining.
Is there any downtime associated with NovaSure endometrial ablation?
Just after the procedure, you may cramp, feel nauseous, and even vomit. In addition, you will likely have a watery discharge and increased urination. These are normal experiences after an endometrial ablation, but should subside within a day or two.
How long does it take for my periods to become normal?
In Dr. Jain’s experience, most of her patients begin having normal periods around the third month after treatment. Of course, this can vary from patient to patient, but 90 days post-ablation is the average time it takes for patients’ periods to stabilize.
Don’t let a long-lasting or extremely heavy period keep you from missing out on important activities and events. Call Dr. Jain’s office to learn more about NovaSure endometrial ablation or schedule an appointment online.

NovaSure is an endometrial ablation procedure that works by removing the endometrium, or the lining of the uterus (the part that causes the bleeding), with a quick delivery of radiofrequency energy.
NovaSure works in four simple steps:
| Your doctor slightly opens your cervix (the opening to the uterus), inserts a slender wand, and extends a triangular mesh device into the uterus | The mesh gently expands, fitting to the size and shape of your uterus |
| Precisely measured radio frequency energy is delivered through the mesh for about 90 seconds, gently removing the lining of the uterus | The mesh device is pulled back into the wand and both are removed from the uterus |
