Results for tag: "Endometrial Ablation"

Endometrial ablation is a surgical procedure used to treat heavy menstrual bleeding. It involves the destruction of the endometrium, the inner lining of the uterus. The procedure is typically performed using a hysteroscope, a thin, lighted tube that is inserted through the vagina and cervix into the uterus. Endometrial ablation can be done using a variety of techniques, including thermal ablation, hydrothermal ablation, and radiofrequency ablation. The procedure is minimally invasive and can be done in an outpatient setting. Endometrial ablation is a safe and effective treatment for heavy menstrual bleeding. It can reduce menstrual flow by up to 90%, and can reduce the need for hysterectomy in some cases. The procedure is generally well-tolerated and has a low risk of complications. Some companies in the endometrial ablation market include Hologic, Inc., Medtronic, Inc., and Johnson & Johnson. Show Less Read more
