IF HEAVY PERIODS INTERFERE WITH YOUR LIFE, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
Did you know that one in five women suffer from heavy periods? This bleeding can be emotionally and physically devastating, causing many women to limit their activities and lifestyles.
Your doctor may call this condition "menorrhagia" (men-or-rá-jah), a medical term for menstrual periods that are too heavy, too frequent, or last too long.
Many options are available, including drug therapy, minimally invasive treatments, or a hysterectomy. Her Option® Cryoblation Therapy is a natural choice for women with heavy periods who are looking for an alternative to a hysterectomy.
Her Option reduces or eliminates menstrual periods in most women. This treatment can free you from the limitation and pain associated with heavy periods, without removing your uterus or disrupting your natural hormones.
Her Option is a safe and effective treatment that uses sub-zero temperatures to destroy the tissue lining the uterus (endometrium). It is this tissue that sheds during your period that causes bleeding. By destroying most or all of this lining, your periods will be reduced or eliminated.
When is heavy menstrual bleeding too heavy?
Although every woman experiences her period differently, most doctors define a normal, healthy period by a few standard criteria.
| Normal Bleeding |
Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB): |
| Occurs about every 25-31 days |
Can last longer than 7 days |
| Lasts 4-5 days |
May require frequent change of protection, or double protection |
| Totals 2-3 tablespoons |
May include large blood clots in your flow |
| |
May cause tiredness, fatigue or shortness of breath (symptoms of anemia) |
There are many reasons that women choose Cryoablation Therapy:
- High success rate in reducing bleeding with no incisions
- No need to remove the uterus or to disrupt the natural hormones
- The treatment can be performed in the comfort of a doctor's office
- One single treatment is all that should be required.
