About Ovarian Ablation

Ovarian ablation is a minimally invasive or surgical procedure performed by an Obstetrician and Gynaecologist to intentionally stop or reduce the function of the ovaries. This is achieved by destroying or removing ovarian tissue, thereby halting the production of hormones like estrogen and progesterone. It is primarily used as a treatment for hormone-sensitive conditions, such as certain types of breast cancer, or to manage severe, treatment-resistant symptoms of premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD) or endometriosis. The procedure can be performed using various techniques, including surgery (oophorectomy), radiation therapy, or specialized ablation methods like radiofrequency or thermal ablation. By suppressing ovarian function, it effectively manages hormone-driven diseases and symptoms, offering a targeted therapeutic option when other treatments have failed.

Key Highlights
