You have choices to explore.

Women suffering from menorrhagia have a number of treatment options to consider and discuss with their doctor. These include:

  • Hormone therapy
  • Hormone-releasing IUDs (Intrauterine Devices)
  • D & C (Dilation and curettage)
  • Hysterectomy
  • Endometrial ablation

For this last option, NovaSure Endometrial Ablation is the leading choice with more than 500,000 patients successfully treated. The NovaSure procedure is a quick, safe, simple, one-time endometrial ablation treatment. This minimally invasive procedure controls heavy bleeding by using energy to remove the lining of the uterus. The procedure takes about 4 ½ minutes, and only needs to be performed once to lighten or stop your periods. No pretreatment is necessary; it can be performed any time during your cycle, and most women resume their normal activities within 24-48 hours.

Talk to your doctor.
The most important thing you can do to take charge of your health is talk to your doctor about your heavy periods and how they affect your life. Maybe you’ve never discussed your periods with your doctor and you’re not sure where to start. Relax – it’s a problem that affects 1 out of every 5 women, and you don’t need to suffer silently. Your doctor cares about you and can help if they know how your periods impact your life.

Before your visit if possible, keep a journal to track your bleeding for a few cycles or try to jot down notes from memory about your last few cycles. Download a Doctor Discussion Guide, complete the quiz, and bring them with you to your appointment to make the most of your time with the doctor.

You’ll want to be sure to discuss:

  • Your heavy bleeding and how it interferes with your life
  • Your treatment options
  • Success rates with each treatment
  • Other patients your doctor has treated whom you could contact
  • Are you a candidate for the NovaSure procedure?
