What is a NovaSure Endometrial Ablation?
Why NovaSure?
If you're like 1 in 5 women with heavy periods, you want to get back to life. NovaSure® is a one- time, five-minute procedure that can lighten or end your heavy period. No pills. No hormonal side effects. For 77.7% of women, menstrual bleeding is dramatically reduced or stopped. It's a simple procedure that can be done in your doctor's office.
NovaSure is an endometrial ablation procedure that works by removing the endometrium, or the lining of the uterus (the part that causes the bleeding), with a quick delivery of radio frequency energy
Expectations
The procedure takes just 5 minutes and requires no incisions or hormones. Most women return to regular activity within a day and experience significantly lighter or no periods at all.
Your doctor slightly opens your cervix (the opening to the uterus), inserts a slender wand, and extends a triangular mesh device into the uterus
The mesh gently expands, fitting to the size and shape of your uterus
Precisely measured radio frequency energy is delivered through the mesh for about 90 seconds, gently removing the lining of the uterus
The mesh device is pulled back into the wand and both are removed from the uterus
