What It Is
Heavy periods during perimenopause can be more than inconvenient — they can be completely life-disrupting. NovaSure® Endometrial Ablation is a quick, one-time, in-office procedure that permanently reduces or eliminates heavy menstrual bleeding. It works by gently removing the uterine lining (endometrium) using a thin, mesh device that delivers precisely controlled radiofrequency energy. No hormones. No hysterectomy. No hospital stay.
What It Treats
- Heavy menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia)
- Prolonged periods during perimenopause
- Anemia caused by excessive blood loss
- Period-related fatigue and quality-of-life disruption
How the Technology Works
The NovaSure device is a slender, expandable mesh wand that is inserted through the cervix — no incisions required. Once in place, it conforms to the unique shape of your uterus and delivers radiofrequency energy for approximately 120 seconds. This controlled energy ablates the uterine lining, significantly reducing or stopping future periods. The entire procedure takes about 5 minutes from start to finish.
The Process:
What to Expect — Your Journey
When to Expect Results
Results develop gradually over the first 1 to 3 menstrual cycles following the procedure. In clinical studies, 9 out of 10 women reported significantly lighter periods, and about half reported their periods stopping completely.
Important Notes
NovaSure is intended for women who do not wish to become pregnant in the future, as the procedure affects the uterine lining. It is not a form of contraception. Your provider will discuss all considerations during your consultation.
