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
