About Menorrhagia

Did You Know That…  One out of every five women (20%) worldwide experience excessive menstrual bleeding or menorrhagia

  
Menorrhagia is the most common type of abnormal uterine bleeding, as well as the leading cause of iron deficiency anemia in women.
Symptoms of anemia include weakness, headaches, depression, tiredness, vulnerability to cold and poor concentration levels.
Menorrhagia may be caused by benign uterine growths such as fibroids or polyps, infections or chronic illness; however, in the majority of cases no organic cause can be identified.

 
As with any medical condition, it is best to discuss available options with your physician. Your doctor will consider such factors as your age, overall health and medical condition, in order to determine whether Thermablate EAS is the best solution for the treatment of your heavy menstrual periods.
