Alternatives to Hysterectomy


There are exciting new alternatives to hysterectomy for women who experience excessive bleeding during their menstrual cycle. This condition is called menorrhagia and often occurs in the peri-menopausal (ages 40 to 55).
It can also be due to fibroids in the uterus, or adenomyosis (endometriosis in the muscle of the uterus)
There is a procedure called endometrial ablation which can now be performed in the office. The procedure uses a freezing technique to eliminate the endometrial lining. The results are a very light menses or no menses at all. However the woman maintains her hormones, cervix and uterus! Please visit the web site at Her Option.com to learn about this exciting new technique, which I offer in my office.
