When You’re Ready to be Done Bleeding

For many, heavy or unpredictable periods are more than an inconvenience. They’re disruptive, exhausting, and often quietly tolerated for far too long. But for others, the desire to stop bleeding isn’t rooted in severity, but in choice.

If you’re simply done planning your life around your cycle, done with the products, the unpredictability, or the monthly interruption, a uterine ablation offers a refined, effective solution.

If You’re Wondering If This Is for You…

This procedure treats the lining of the uterus (the endometrium) to significantly reduce, or in many cases, completely eliminate menstrual bleeding altogether.

Whether you’re experiencing heavy periods, prolonged bleeding, spotting between cycles, or you’ve reached a point where you no longer wish to menstruate, ablation can be a liberating option.

What Your Experience Will Be Like

Using minimally invasive techniques, we will have you in and out in one hour.

After numbing the cervix and ensuring your comfort, a specialized device called the Minerva is used to safely treat the uterine lining.

There are no incisions, and patients are able to return home shortly after. Thoughtful pre-procedure planning ensures you’re an ideal candidate.

Recovery is typically straightforward, with many patients returning to most normal activities within a day or two.

You may experience mild cramping, fatigue, or watery discharge as your body heals, but these symptoms are temporary and expected.

While individual results vary, many patients find this to be a life-changing shift, freeing them from the physical and mental load of their cycle.

FAQs About An Endometrial Ablation Operation

How long does it take to stop bleeding?

Over the following weeks to months after an endometrial ablation operation, bleeding becomes lighter, less frequent, or stops entirely.

Will I still have periods after an ablation?

Many people experience significantly lighter periods or no periods at all after the procedure. Results vary depending on individual factors, which Dr. Chinn will review with you beforehand.

While a normal hormonal cycle will continue after your ablation, endometrial lining will no longer form in the manner it did prior to the procedure, resulting in minimal to no menstrual bleeding.

Is the procedure painful?

Appropriate anesthesia and pain management methods will be administered prior to your procedure to ensure the most comfortable experience possible. Some cramping or discomfort afterward is common but typically improves within a short recovery period.

Is endometrial ablation permanent?

While this is a one-and-done procedure for many individuals, some patients will need a repeat ablation in their lifetime, depending on severity of bleeding and phase of life before the procedure.

If a repeat ablation is considered, it is often 10+ years after the initial procedure, provided that patient is still of menstruating age.

Can I still get pregnant after a uterine ablation?

Pregnancy after an endometrial ablation is not possible. That being said, contraceptive methods must still be used to prevent pregnancy after an ablation, as ovulation still occurs and any pregnancies after an ablation would not be viable and would pose significant health risks.
