Endometrial Ablation Description
|
|
The lining of the uterus, the endometrium, is shed by bleeding each month during a woman's menstruation. Some women have heavy bleeding or bleeding that last longer than normal. For them, endometrial ablation may be a good treatment option. This procedure treats the lining of the uterus to control or stop bleeding. It does not involve removal of the uterus and it does not affect a woman's hormone levels.
