Constantly Weighed Down by Heavy Bleeding? Endometrial Ablation Could Be Right for You

Dealing with a heavy flow can cast a cloud over your entire menstrual cycle. At a time when you’re probably not feeling great as it is, heavy menstrual bleeding can last for days or weeks. 

Even making simple plans or getting through your daily routine is exhausting when you're preoccupied with leaks, feeling weighed down, and staying dry throughout the day.

If you’re tired of changing your sanitary products constantly, relief may be within reach. Farly Sejour, MD, Natalie Gould, WHNP-BC, and our team at Solace Women’s Care specialize in endometrial ablation in Conroe, Texas.

This in-office treatment can help you find lasting relief from heavy bleeding. It may even end your menstrual cycle altogether. Are you wondering if you’re a candidate? Here’s everything you need to know about endometrial ablation for heavy bleeding:

Heavy menstrual bleeding isn’t ‘normal’

If your periods are so heavy that they interfere with your life, it’s time to take action. You shouldn’t have to plan your day around changing period products or worry about leaks everywhere you go.

Endometrial ablation is a safe, effective treatment for heavy menstrual bleeding. It works by removing the endometrium, the lining of your uterus that sheds each month during your period. Without this lining, your periods become much lighter — or may stop altogether.

At Solace Women’s Care, we use the Minerva® Endometrial Ablation System. The procedure doesn’t require any incisions. Instead, we use specialized tools inserted through the vaginal canal to reach your uterus. This means less pain, quicker recovery, and no need for a hospital stay.

92% of women experience lighter periods on Minerva

This advanced technology is proven to reduce periods to normal or lighter levels for 92% of women. Many women also experience fewer premenstrual symptoms and better energy levels after treatment. For over half of women, periods stop entirely.

Your cycle shouldn’t control your schedule, but heavy bleeding often does. With endometrial ablation, you can:

• Regain the energy lost to heavy bleeding
• Feel more comfortable being active
• Enjoy intimacy without worrying about discomfort or bleeding
• Stop planning your life around your cycle

Endometrial ablation with the Minerva system is a simple outpatient procedure that we perform right here in our office. The entire process takes just a few minutes, and there’s no need for lengthy recovery.

Is endometrial ablation right for you?

Endometrial ablation is an option for many women, but it isn’t right for everyone. It’s best for those who:

• Are done having children (the procedure isn’t reversible)
• Have heavy bleeding that hasn’t improved with other treatments
• Want an effective, minimally invasive solution
• Are looking for a long-term solution to stop heavy bleeding
