Novasure
If you are experiencing heavy menstrual periods that are keeping you away from enjoying your life to the fullest, you should know about the 90-second treatment called Novasure (Endometrial Ablation).
Novasure is a minimally invasive option that is safe and simple.
This procedure has been proven to help control heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) without any need for hormones or a hysterectomy.
About Novasure Procedure:
It takes less than 5 minutes
The procedure can be performed in an office visit or outpatient setting, and generally takes less than 5 minutes. In addition the procedure can be performed under general anesthesia and does not require a hospital stay.
Recovery is fast, and most women can usually return to their normal activities by the next day.
After the procedure, most women experience moderate cramping or pain, which can be managed with over the counter pain relievers. You might also see vaginal bleeding or light spotting, changing to a pinkish watery discharge that may last for several weeks. The discharge is a normal part of the healing process.
The first-operative check-up usually occurs within two weeks after the procedure, and sexual activity can resume after the check up visit. Your first few weeks after the procedure may continue to be heavy, with improvement thereafter.
