Endometrial Ablation for Abnormal Uterine Bleeding

Long-Term Relief from Heavy Periods

Endometrial ablation is a non-hormonal treatment option for women who experience heavy or prolonged menstrual bleeding and are no longer planning to have children. The procedure works by using radiofrequency energy and heat to cauterize and destroy the endometrial lining of the uterus, which can significantly reduce or even stop menstrual bleeding. While effective for many, it’s important to note that endometrial ablation is not a form of birth control. If this may be an appropriate option for you, Dr. Abraham will discuss the details, benefits, and risks during your consultation.

*An endometrial ablation may be performed in conjunction with a hysteroscopy to allow direct visualization and sampling of the uterine lining before the procedure.

Dr. Abraham ensures that each patient understands the benefits, risks, and expectations for recovery. For many women, endometrial ablation is life-changing—freeing them from the burden of frequent or heavy bleeding, anemia, and missed work or activities.

Dr. Abraham is proud to offer this procedure at Sibley Memorial Hospital. All hospital-based fees will be billed by the hospital through your insurance. All other fees will be discussed transparently in advance to ensure there are no surprises.
