Endometrial Ablation

Endometrial ablation is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding by removing or destroying the uterine lining (endometrium). It is an effective alternative to hysterectomy for women who suffer from abnormal uterine bleeding but want to preserve their uterus.

At DYU Obstetrics and Gynaecology, we offer advanced endometrial ablation techniques, ensuring safe, effective, and long-lasting relief from heavy menstrual bleeding while minimizing recovery time.

Who Needs Endometrial Ablation?

Endometrial ablation is recommended for women who:

• Experience heavy menstrual bleeding (Menorrhagia) that affects daily life.
• Have prolonged periods lasting more than seven days.
• Suffer from anemia due to excessive blood loss.
• Are unable to control bleeding with medications or hormonal therapy.
• Have completed their family planning, as pregnancy after ablation is not recommended.

⚠ Note: Endometrial ablation is not suitable for women who:

• Plan to conceive in the future.
• Have uterine cancer or precancerous conditions.
• Have severe uterine abnormalities or infections.

Types of Endometrial Ablation Procedures

1. Radiofrequency Ablation

• Uses radiofrequency energy to destroy the endometrial lining.
• Quick and effective, usually completed within 10-15 minutes.

2. Thermal Balloon Ablation

• A balloon filled with heated fluid is inserted into the uterus.
• The heat destroys the endometrial tissue, reducing heavy bleeding.

3. Cryoablation (Freezing Technique)

• Uses extreme cold temperatures to freeze and remove the uterine lining.

4. Microwave Ablation

• A microwave probe delivers heat energy to the uterine lining, removing it effectively.

5. Hydrothermal Ablation

• A heated fluid is circulated in the uterus to remove the endometrial tissue.

Benefits of Endometrial Ablation

• Minimally invasive procedure with quick recovery
• Significant reduction or complete stop in menstrual bleeding
• Avoids the need for major surgery like hysterectomy
• Short procedure time (typically less than 30 minutes)
• Safe and effective treatment with long-term results

What to Expect After the Procedure

• Most patients return to normal activities within 1-2 days.
• Some women may experience mild cramping and watery discharge for a few days.
• Periods may become lighter or stop completely over time.
• Pregnancy is unlikely but not impossible, so birth control may still be needed.
