What is the Novasure Procedure?
|
|
The NovaSure procedure is a fast, safe, simple, one-time only endometrial
ablation treatment. This minimally invasive procedure controls heavy
bleeding by using energy to remove the lining of the uterus. The average
treatment time is less than 2 minutes, and only needs to be performed
once to lighten or stop your periods. No drugs are needed before the
procedure and NovaSure can be performed in the office at Associates in
Obstetrics and Gynecology.
Without
the side effects of hormones or the risks of hysterectomy, NovaSure has
a fast recovery time so you can get back to your life sooner. Most
women experience no pain after the procedure, and can return to work and
regular activities the next day.

Novasure reduces bleeding and much more...
|
|
With more than a half a million patients treated to date, NovaSure is a
proven safe and successful procedure. A clinical trial has shown that
more than 9 out of 10 women return to normal or lower than normal
bleeding levels following treatments with NovaSure. For some women,
their periods even stopped entirely.
Other benefits of the NovaSure procedure are:
- a 45% reduction in women reporting PMS
- a 64% reduction in women reporting pain
- a 68% reduction in women reporting anxiety
- a 71% reduction in women reporting a lack of self-confidence
- a 80% reduction in women missing work, social activities, and/or other daily activities because of heavy bleeding
