NovaSure: No Hysterectomy

You can say "No More!" The NovaSure procedure is a quick, safe, and simple one-time treatment. NovaSure can treat excessive bleeding and ends monthly cycles for good so that you can go on with your life.

The NovaSure procedure is a quick, safe, simple, one-time endometrial ablation treatment. This is a minimally invasive procedure that controls heavy bleeding by using radio-frequency energy to remove the hormonally active lining of the uterus. The average treatment time is 60-90 seconds, and the procedure will permanently eliminate (or mostly eliminate) menstrual periods in 95% of patients. It will also eliminate (or nearly eliminate) PMS symptoms, including pre-menstrual fluid retention, abdominal bloating, headaches, and irritable/anxious feelings that many women have. In most cases, the procedure will eliminate pre-menstrual bladder spasms, gas, diarrhea, back-pain, and pelvic cramps.

Without the risks of hysterectomy, NovaSure patients are able to resume normal activites almost immediately, and nearly all can return to work the next day.

A recent survey of Dr. Ashford's NovaSure patients demonstrated that 82% of NovaSure patients had stopped their periods entirely, with the remaining 18% experiencing only a day or two of spotting each month. Similarly, 98% of patients who had previously graded their PMS between a 4 and a 10 on a 10-point scale experienced either total resolution of their PMS symptoms or had a decrease to only a 1 or 2.
