In Office Procedures

Novasure (endometrial ablation)

One in Five Premenopausal women suffers from heavy bleeding. Endometrial ablation is an outpatient procedure that burns the inside lining of the uterus to stop or decrease heavy menstrual bleeding.

Novasure is a type of endometrial ablation for premenopausal women with heavy periods due to benign causes who have completed childbearing. It is a five-minute procedure done in the office setting. Talk to your provider and see if you are a candidate. 

Office hysteroscopy

Hysteroscopy is part of the work-up for heavy menstrual bleeding, bleeding between periods, and infertility. At Women’s Health Partners, we offer this procedure in the office and can be done in less than five minutes with only local anesthesia. Office hysteroscopy can be used to identify uterine abnormalities such as an endometrial polyp that would require general anesthesia to diagnose in the past.

LEEP (Loop Electrode Excisional Procedure)

LEEPs are indicated for the diagnosis and treatment of moderate to severe cervical dysplasia. It is a short procedure done in the office setting with local anesthesia.
