NovaSure Procedure
Carolina Women’s Physicians is now offering the NovaSure procedure to help control excessive menstrual bleeding.
NovaSure Endometrial Ablation (EA) is a 90-second, one-time-in-office procedure, that has been used effectively in over one million women, to control bleeding without hormones and hysterectomy.
Many women experience excessive or irregular bleeding in their 30s and 40s, before the onset of menopause. More than just a physical problem, excessive menstrual bleeding takes an emotional and physical toll, as well.
 The NovaSure procedure works by gently removing the endometrium, or lining of the uterus (the part which causes the bleeding), with a quick delivery of radiofrequency energy. The NovaSure procedure either reduces or stops the bleeding entirely. And, it is much less invasive than other procedures, such as hysterectomies. Additionally, side effects, which may occur with hormones, are avoided.
Among the benefits of the NovaSure procedure are:
• The procedure can be performed at the Carolina Women’s Physicians office with no general anesthesia.
• The procedure is quick – average treatment time is just 90 seconds.
• Can be performed at any time during your cycle
• No pre-treatment medicine required
• 90% of women returned to normal, light or no periods at all
• 41% reported that their periods stopped altogether
The NovaSure procedure is offered in the Carolina Women's Physicians' office. Call to schedule an appointment with one of the CWP professional staff to learn more about this safe, revolutionary procedure.
