What is a uterine ablation for?

Heavy periods: An ablation is a treatment for heavy, painful periods. It is an excellent minimally invasive, non-hormonal option for someone who is done with childbearing. About 95% of patients have either no period or light/normal periods after an ablation and it can often be done in your doctor's office.

See below: An endometrial ablation uses one of several techniques to destroy the internal lining of the uterus or endometrium. The endometrium is the layer of tissue inside the uterus that grows in response to hormone changes and prepares to receive an embryo. Ablations may involve the use of hot saline, electrode mesh, microwaves, balloons, or freezing.
