Endometrial ablation at Nuffield Health at St Bartholomew's Hospital

What is endometrial ablation?

Endometrial ablation is a procedure that surgically destroys (ablates) the lining of your uterus (endometrium). The goal of endometrial ablation is to reduce menstrual flow. In some women, menstrual flow may stop completely.

What are the benefits of endometrial ablation?

If you experience heavy periods that do not respond to conservative treatments methods your consultant may recommend endometrial ablation.

What happens during endometrial ablation?

Endometrial ablation may be done using spinal or general anaesthetic.

Your gynaecologist will pass a thin, flexible tube with a light at the end called a hysteroscope through your vagina and cervix into the cavity of your womb and pass fluid through the telescope to swell the womb.

They will use electricity or laser energy to remove the lining of your womb and any polyps or small fibroids they find.

Recovery from endometrial ablation

Your length of hospital stay will depend on the level of surgery performed and your recovery.
