My fiance is planning a uterine ablation, what would be the 2 best procedure?

Mirena (levonorgestrel) IUD: I assume the endometrial ablation is due to monthly heavy periods. If you want to avoid this procedure, an easy alternative is to obtain a Mirena (levonorgestrel) iud (intrauterine device). This has been around as an effective form of contraception, but in 2009, the fda approved its use for heavy bleeding control. It is easily placed and removed in the office without any anesthesia. Discuss with your gyne.

Any of the following: There really is no good answer to that question. Any of the three most common procedures are equally effective for most women. If your uterus is larger then 8-9 cm, your physician may choose thermal ablation which may be better for larger uterine cavities. If your procedure is done in the office, my experience has been that novasure is somewhat better tolerated and certainly quicker for most.
