Endometrial ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that gently removes the lining of the uterus (endometrium) using heat, freezing temperatures, or radio frequent energy. The endometrium constantly increases and decreases in thickness throughout the menstrual cycle in response to changing hormones and can contribute to irregular periods and PMS symptoms. When the lining is removed, monthly periods stop or significantly lessen, eliminating heavy and irregular bleeding.
