New Treatments for Excessive Menstrual Bleeding
Women suffering from heavy menstrual bleeding now have new and exciting treatment options to combat this monthly, sometimes life disrupting occurrence.
What is menorrhagia?
Menorrhagia is the medical term for excessive menstrual bleeding that lasts seven or more days per cycle, or is so excessive or painful that it causes anemia and fatigue, restricts activities, causes embarrassing accidents or interferes with a woman's normal lifestyle. One in five women over the age of 34 consult their gynecologist about these complaints each year.
A New Treatment Option
There is now a new treatment option - Global Endometrial Ablation. This minimally invasive procedure is performed by a new generation of devices which use freezing temperatures, heated fluid, electrical or microwave energy to destroy the lining of the uterus, which causes heavy bleeding, and prevents it from being replaced.
