Novasure eblation
I am probably going in next week for this procedure. My Doc has done the physical exam, the internal and external ultrasound to rule out tumors, cysts, fibroids, etc., Am going this week for a uterine biopys to rule out any othe problems. Then hoping to schedle UA next week. I have no problems but extremely heavy bleeding. Done having children, age 47, and no cramping etc., but 12 day long periods with the heavy bleeding. In reading the comments here, most of these people have a lot of problems. Did your docs do all this other testing prior to the procedure?
I myself had this procedure done today. I have been on pain management for my periods for the last 3 years and I am in the process of finishing up my clinicals in college. My doctor decided to do the ablation to see if it would help because I didn't have the time to take for a complete hysterectomy. I have had all these tests done to make sure it wasn't any thing else. Good luck!!

Hello,
As a treatment for heavy periods, novasure ablation is done which is a procedure that gently removes the lining of the uterus—the part that causes the bleeding. Women with heavy or long-lasting periods who do not wish to have children in the future may be candidates for the NovaSure procedure. Hence it is better to get a uterine biopsy done first to confirm the diagnosis and then go in for this procedure.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.
