Endometrial Ablation

Endometrial ablation is a surgical procedure to remove a thin layer of tissue (the endometrium) that lines the uterus.
The aim of any of the endometrial ablation procedures is to reduce menstrual blood flow (reduce periods). If you want to ensure that there is no menstrual bleeding following treatment, then you should not choose an endometrial ablation and should discuss hysterectomy with your doctor as this is the only procedure that will guarantee no bleeding following the procedure. Following an endometrial ablation there are four possible outcomes:
No periods at all (called amenorrhea) (40% of cases)
Very light periods/spotting (40% of cases)
Reduced bleeding to what is acceptable (10% of cases)
No change in menstrual bleeding (10% of cases)
