What Is Endometrial Ablation?

The uterus is lined with tissue called the endometrium, which thickens each month in preparation for pregnancy. If pregnancy does not occur, the lining sheds during your menstrual period.

For women with heavy or abnormal bleeding, this process can become excessive and difficult to manage.

Endometrial ablation is a minimally invasive, in-office procedure that removes or destroys the uterine lining to reduce or stop menstrual bleeding.

This treatment allows your provider to address abnormal bleeding without more invasive surgery, such as a hysterectomy.

When Is Endometrial Ablation Recommended?

Your provider at Obstetricians & Gynecologists, PC may recommend endometrial ablation if you experience:

• Heavy menstrual bleeding
• Prolonged periods
• Bleeding that does not respond to other treatments

Common Causes of Abnormal Bleeding

• Uterine fibroids
• Irregular ovulation
• Endometriosis

Before recommending treatment, your provider will evaluate the cause of your symptoms to rule out other conditions, including:

• Endometrial polyps
• Uterine abnormalities
• Malignancies (cancer)

This evaluation may include a hysteroscopy, which allows your provider to examine the uterus and obtain a biopsy if needed.

Important: Endometrial ablation is typically recommended only for women who are finished having children.

What Happens During Endometrial Ablation?

Endometrial ablation is performed as an outpatient, in-office procedure, meaning no major surgery is required.



Your provider accesses the uterus through the vagina and cervix, avoiding external incisions.

Common Ablation Techniques Include:

• Hydrothermal ablation – heated fluid destroys the uterine lining
• Cryoablation – freezing temperatures eliminate the lining
• Radiofrequency ablation – heat energy removes the lining
• Microwave ablation – microwave energy destroys the tissue

Your provider will determine the best method based on your individual needs.
