Endometrial Ablation:
Her Option Cryoablation,
Non-Surgical Treatment of Uterine Bleeding

Her Option® is a procedure to treat abnormal uterine bleeding or “menorrhagia” (men-or-ra-jah), a medical term for menstrual periods that are too heavy, too frequent, or last too long. Her Option is designed for office use with women’s comfort in mind. The procedure typically takes 20 to 30 minutes and uses cryoablation (cold temperatures). Cold has a natural analgesic affect, reducing pain associated with the procedure. Her Option is a natural choice for women with heavy periods who are looking for an alternative to a hysterectomy and have a desire to maintain their natural hormones. During the procedure, your doctor will monitor the progress of the treatment using an abdominal ultrasound. A slender probe will be gently inserted through your vagina into your uterus and is cooled until it reaches sub-zero temperatures. Typically, multiple ice zones are formed. The Her Option procedure:
