Heavy periods… What can I do about them?

 

 

If you suffer from heavy periods, you are not alone.  

 

More than 1 woman in 5 share this common condition and it can profoundly affect your daily activities. A number of medical conditions may cause heavy periods, including uterine fibroids, uterine polyps, hormonal imbalance, and precancerous lesions.

The good news is that effective treatments for heavy periods are available, and you have choices.   

• Removal of submucosal fibroids (fibroids located inside the uterine cavity) and uterine polyps can now be performed safely, without incisions and on an outpatient basis, with a hysteroscope.  
• Heavy periods cause by hormonal imbalance can be treated via endometrial ablation, a simple, one-time, minimally- invasive 30 minute outpatient procedure.

 

Imagine the freedom to participate in all your favorite activities and enjoying life to the fullest.  Don’t let heavy periods interfere with your daily activities.  

New, safe alternatives are currently available.
