NovaSure endometrial ablation is a minimally invasive gynecology treatment option for women experiencing heavy menstrual bleeding or certain types of abnormal uterine bleeding. At Charleston Women's Wellness Center, this treatment may be discussed after a careful evaluation of your symptoms, health history, and treatment goals.
Endometrial ablation treats the lining of the uterus and may help reduce or stop heavy bleeding for appropriate candidates. It is not the same as a hysterectomy, and it may offer a less invasive option for some patients who do not need or do not want major surgery. For many women, the first step is a full visit focused on gynecology services in Charleston, SC, diagnostic review, and a discussion of available treatment options.
When NovaSure May Be Discussed
- Heavy menstrual bleeding that affects daily life
- Irregular or abnormal uterine bleeding
- Bleeding that has not improved with conservative treatment options
- A desire to explore a minimally invasive alternative to hysterectomy when medically appropriate
Because abnormal bleeding can have different causes, our team may recommend an exam, imaging, lab work, or other testing before deciding whether NovaSure treatment for heavy menstrual bleeding is the right fit. Patients may also benefit from related care such as DEXA scan testing, urinary incontinence testing, or menopause and hormone care, depending on their age, symptoms, and overall health needs.
What to Expect
Before any procedure is recommended, Charleston Women's Wellness Center will review your symptoms, answer questions, and explain the benefits, limitations, and possible risks of treatment. NovaSure is generally considered for women who are finished having children, so it is important to discuss future pregnancy plans and all available options with your provider.
Schedule a Consultation
If heavy periods or abnormal bleeding are affecting your quality of life, schedule an appointment with Charleston Women's Wellness Center. Our team can help determine whether NovaSure, another in-office treatment, or a different gynecology care plan is the best next step for you.
