Can you tell me about endometrial ablation?

Uterine lining burn: The endometrial ablation is a minimally invasive technique designed to burn the lining of the uterus, so it cannot thicken up and bleed each month. It is done through a camera that traverses the vagina, the cervix and goes into the uterus. It is an outpatient or office procedure. It may stop your periods completely or lessen your bleeding substantially. It does'nt affect your hormones or menopause

Yes: An instrument is inserted vaginally into the uterus and burns the lining of the uterus that bleeds each month. The goal is to restore normal periods and many women do not have periods after the procedure. There are various types- Novasure, Thermachoice to name a few.
