About your treatment  

 

Preparation for the treatment

Your Doctor may request that you do not eat solid food immediately prior to treatment, and you will likely be given some medication to reduce cramping during the procedure. Total treatment time is less than 2.5 minutes.

 

After the Treatment

 Patients can usually leave the treatment centre 1 to 2 hours after the procedure. Some cramping may occur during the first 8 to 12 hours after treatment with Thermablate EAS. Your physician may recommend a mild analgesic to reduce your discomfort.

Many patients return to normal activities with 48 hours of a Thermablate EAS procedure.

Patients often notice a watery or blood tinged discharge for approximately 2 to 3 weeks after endometrial ablation with Thermablate EAS. Light sanitary pads are usually sufficient protection. In the months following treatment, patients should expect a significant reduction in menstrual bleeding. More than 85% of women who undergo treatment with thermal balloon ablation, have reported that they are satisfied with the results and would recommend the procedure to others.
