Endometrial Ablation

Endometrial ablation is a procedure that destroys the endometrium, or the uterine lining. This procedure is performed to treat abnormal or dysfunctional bleeding in the uterus. As an OBGYN in Austin, Texas (TX), Dr. Souhail Asfouri specializes in endometrial ablation, as well as other minimally invasive surgeries. 

Endometrial ablation causes the endometrium to heal by scarring, which often prevents bleeding in the future. It is an outpatient procedure, which usually takes about 45 minutes from start to finish. The healing process can take anywhere from two days to two weeks. Patients suffering from excessive bleeding in the Austin, Texas (TX) area should consider endometrial ablation, especially if other forms of treatment have failed. 

If experiencing abnormal bleeding, schedule an appointment with Dr. Souhail Asfouri of Austin Southwest OBGYN and see if an endometrial ablation could solve the problem.
