How to prepare
- Complete medical evaluation and confirmation that childbearing is complete.
- Diagnostic tests like ultrasound or hysteroscopy to rule out uterine cancer or polyps.
- Possible endometrial biopsy to ensure the lining is normal.
- Discussion of all treatment options, benefits, and risks with your gynaecologist.
- Procedure is scheduled for when you are not menstruating.
- You may be asked to stop certain medications (like blood thinners) a few days prior.
- Fasting for several hours before the procedure if sedation or anesthesia is used.
Risks & possible complications
- Common temporary side effects: cramping (like menstrual cramps), nausea, and vaginal discharge/spotting for a few weeks.
- Risk of infection (endometritis).
- Perforation (a small hole) in the wall of the uterus, though rare.
- Injury to nearby organs (bowel or bladder) is extremely rare.
- Procedure failure, where heavy bleeding returns or is not adequately controlled.
- Post-ablation tubal sterilization syndrome (PATSS), a rare complication if tubes were previously tied.
- Pregnancy after ablation is dangerous and must be prevented, as it carries high risk.
Recovery & hospital stay
- Most patients go home the same day after a short observation period.
- Expect watery, blood-tinged discharge that can last for several weeks.
- Over-the-counter pain relievers are usually sufficient for cramping.
- Avoid using tampons, douching, or having sexual intercourse for 2-3 weeks as advised.
- You can typically return to light activities within 1-2 days and normal activities within a week.
- Follow-up appointment with your gynaecologist to assess healing and outcomes.

Anjali Mehta, a 42-year-old senior accountant...
Anjali Mehta, a 42-year-old senior accountant and mother of two teenagers, had always struggled with heavy, painful periods. Over the past three years, her menorrhagia had worsened dramatically, causing severe anemia that left her constantly fatigued and forced her to miss work. She felt trapped in a cycle of pain and exhaustion, unable to keep up with her demanding career or be fully present for her family. Her OB-GYN, after trying hormonal IUDs and medication with limited success, recommended an endometrial ablation as a minimally invasive way to significantly reduce or stop her bleeding. Anjali was nervous but desperate for relief. She underwent a NovaSure radiofrequency ablation, which was quick and performed under light sedation. The recovery was remarkably smooth, with mild cramping for a day. Within one cycle, her bleeding was reduced to a light, manageable flow. Her energy levels soared as her anemia resolved. Anjali felt a profound sense of liberation, regaining control over her time, health, and life, freeing her from the constant anxiety her cycle used to bring.
