Priya Saxena, a 42-year-old accountant and...
Priya Saxena, a 42-year-old accountant and mother of two teenagers, had struggled for five years with increasingly heavy and painful periods. Her cycles left her anemic, fatigued, and often forced to miss work and family events. She had tried various hormonal medications, but they caused unacceptable mood swings and weight gain. Her gynecologist, Dr. Sharma, recommended Hydrothermal Endometrial Ablation (HTA) as a minimally invasive alternative to a hysterectomy, explaining it would destroy the uterine lining to significantly reduce or stop her bleeding while preserving her uterus. Priya underwent the 10-minute procedure under mild sedation. She experienced mild cramping afterward, similar to a period, and was home the same day. Within two cycles, her bleeding was reduced to a light, manageable flow. Her energy returned, and she no longer planned her life around her period. Emotionally, Priya felt a profound relief and regained a sense of control over her body and time, freeing her from the constant anxiety and limitation her condition had imposed.
