Does your menstrual cycle seem abnormally long or heavy? Are you afraid of leaking through a pad or tampon? Have you been diagnosed with anemia from blood loss? If so, you may have menorrhagia (pronounced: men-o-rahj-ah).
Menorrhagia is defined as unusually heavy or long-lasting menstrual periods. It occurs in 1 out of every 5 women. If you believe that you might have excessive menstrual bleeding, speak with a doctor. There is now a simple, safe procedure, endometrial ablation that is done in-office and has you back to work the next day.
This procedure removes the lining of the uterus to control or stop bleeding. It does not involve removal of the uterus and it does not affect a woman’s hormone levels. Genesis physicians use the NovaSure and ThermaChoice in-office procedures.
