With NovaSure®: You Can Stop the Bleeding

Excessive menstrual bleeding is a common problem for women as they approach menopause.  The symptoms can be associated with excessive days of bleeding, frequent bleeding, unpredictable bleeding, as well as significant discomfort. At least 25 percent of women will experience these symptoms resulting in embarrassing moments, missed work, and an overall disruption of normal activities. Furthermore, due to a lack of understanding, this health condition can lead to confusion and fear for some women.

If left untreated, prolonged bleeding can eventually result in fatigue and anemia. Therefore, seeing an experienced gynecologist is vital to learning more about the condition, the various treatment options that are available, and which ones may be right for you.
