Endometrial Ablations

Many women experience heavy menstrual bleeding at some point in their lives. But for one in four women, every cycle is heavy—and that’s not normal. Doctors call this condition "abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB)" or "menorrhagia."

Normal bleeding

• occurs about every 25-31 days
• lasts 4-5 days
• totals 2-3 tablespoons

Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB)

• can last longer than 7 days
• may require frequent change of protection, or double protection
• may include large blood clots in your flow
• may cause tiredness, fatigue or shortness of breath (symptoms of anemia)

Heavy period treatment options

Doctors can treat abnormal uterine bleeding safely and successfully using a variety of methods.

• Hormone therapy
• Dilation and curettage (D&C)
• Hysterectomy
• Endometrial ablation

Which option is right for you?

You and your doctor will need to consider several factors before making a decision about your AUB treatment, including:

• cause of bleeding
• amount and frequency of bleeding
• specific ways heavy periods affect your life
• possibility of future pregnancies
• benefits of a one-time treatment vs. ongoing therapy
