Endometrial ablation is a surgical procedure used to treat abnormal uterine bleeding by removing or destroying the lining of the uterus (endometrium). The goal of endometrial ablation is to reduce or eliminate menstrual bleeding in women who experience heavy or prolonged periods (menorrhagia) and have not responded to other treatments such as medication or hormonal therapy.

It’s important for women considering endometrial ablation to discuss their treatment options, expectations, and potential risks with their healthcare provider to determine if the procedure is appropriate for their individual situation.
