Endometrial ablation is a minimally invasive procedure designed to reduce or stop heavy menstrual bleeding by removing or destroying the thin lining inside the uterus (the endometrium). For women who struggle with periods that are painful, unpredictable, or excessively heavy, this treatment can offer long-lasting relief without the need for major surgery. It is a popular option for those who have completed their families and want a simple, effective solution to improve quality of life.
Your gynecologist may suggest endometrial ablation if heavy periods are affecting your daily routine, causing anemia, or interrupting your emotional and physical well-being. It is especially helpful when medications haven’t worked or when you prefer a more definitive treatment. The procedure is not suitable for women who want future pregnancies, so thorough counseling is always provided beforehand.
Endometrial ablation is usually performed as a day procedure and takes only a few minutes. Depending on the method used—heat, radiofrequency, cold, or electrical energy—the endometrial lining is safely treated through the cervix, without any cuts or stitches. Because it is minimally invasive, recovery is quick, and most women return to normal activities within 24 hours. Your doctor will help choose the technique best suited to your needs and medical history.
Every woman responds differently, but most report improved comfort, better energy levels, and greater freedom in their routine.
Endometrial ablation may be ideal if you:
A detailed evaluation—including ultrasound and often hysteroscopy—is done to ensure the procedure is safe and effective for your individual case.
If heavy periods are affecting your lifestyle, confidence, or health, endometrial ablation may provide the relief you’ve been looking for.
