Why choose endometrial ablation?Â
Endometrial ablation has many advantages that make it a popular choice for patients who visit the practice of Dr. Craig Ranch. After treatment has been performed, approximately 90% of women find that they have much lighter periods—or none at all! This treatment has fewer complications that other surgical procedures while leaving the uterus intact. Below are a few reasons why women choose endometrial ablation for themselves:Â
- Less complications and risks
- No need for general anesthesia, just sedation
- No surgical incisions
- Return to normal activities, including work, in approximately 48 hours
- Significant decrease in risk of surgical trauma and no risk of scarring
- No need for daily medications
- Results of endometrial ablation last until menopause signs start
What can I expect following the endometrial ablation procedure?Â
- Vaginal bleeding ad cramps for a few days following surgery
- Increased need to urinate
- Watery/bloody discharge for up to a month
- Transportation after the procedure
- Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity until cleared by the doctor
- Pain medication to manage discomfort
- Quick recovery to return to normal activities and diet
