One in five women report heavy periods that get in the way of everyday life. If you're struggling with heavy bleeding every month, your doctor may suggest you consider endometrial ablation as a possible treatment option. A minimally invasive procedure that removes the lining of the uterine cavity, endometrial ablation can dramatically reduce or stop severe menstrual flow.
If you have heavy periods and you'd like to know more about an endometrial ablation to get relief, reach out to (301) 897-9817. We're looking forward to talking about your options and finding the right one for you.
