A member asked:
Is there a way to balance estrogen levels without hrt.? 40 yrs old. too much estrogen. polyp on uterus. somewhat rough periods. will ablation help?

Good option: An endometrial ablation is a procedure to destroy the lining of the uterus to eliminate or minimize the amount of bleeding during menstrual cycles. There are five different techniques and most can be done in the office under local anesthesia. This does not affect your hormones or cause menopause. It is a great option and helps patients avoid major surgery.

Ablation may help: There may be several reasons a polyp forms in the uterine cavity. A hysteroscopy (outpatient procedure) and then an ablation may remove it and lessen the chance of it coming back. In some cases natural Progesterone may counteract estrogen action on the uterine lining and help difficult periods.
