Endometrial Ablation
If heavy vaginal bleeding is a problem, a hysterectomy may not be your only option. Northwest Gynecology Center clinicians can help you find the best medical or surgical treatment, such as hormonal adjustments or insertion of an intrauterine device (IUD).
Another solution could be endometrial ablation. In this procedure, a lighted viewing instrument, called a hysteroscope, is used with other instruments to treat the lining of the uterus in order to alleviate heavy bleeding. This treatment can be a safe and effective alternative to a hysterectomy; we can help you determine if it is right for you. The procedure can be performed in-office, with most patients back to routine activities within one or two days.
