How does NovaSure work to treat heavy periods?
The one-time, 5-minute in-office procedure trusted by over 1 million1 women.
NovaSure® is an endometrial ablation (EA) procedure that can reduce or stop menstrual bleeding. It works by removing the endometrium, or the lining of the uterus (the part that causes the bleeding), with a quick delivery of radiofrequency energy.Here's how NovaSure works:
 |
Your doctor slightly opens your cervix (the opening to the uterus), inserts a slender wand, and extends a triangular mesh device into the uterus | |
 |
||
 |
The mesh gently expands, fitting to the size and shape of your uterus | |
|
||
 |
Precisely measured radio frequency energy is delivered through the mesh for about 90 seconds | |
|
||
 |
The mesh device is pulled back into the wand, and both are removed from the uterus. |
No part of the NovaSure device remains inside your body after the procedure.
