What is the definition or description of: endometrial ablation?

Damage lining: Endometrial ablation refers to procedures that use energy to damage or destroy the lining of the uterus that normally build up in preparation of pregnancy. If no pregnancy happens, the lining is shed as a period. There are several different types of ablation-thermal heat, radio frequency, and freezing. All of them are good options but some might be better in certain situations. Talk to your doc.

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 meshes, microwaves, balloons, or freezing.
