What is NovaSure?
NovaSure Endometrial Ablation is a one-time, 5-minute procedure that gently removes the lining of the uterus that causes the bleeding. The NovaSure procedure can reduce or stop bleeding altogether. It's less invasive than a hysterectomy and avoids the potential side effects of hormones.

Women with heavy or long-lasting periods who do not wish to have children in the future may be candidates for the NovaSure procedure. Your doctor can decide if NovaSure is right for you. But if your sure you don't want any children in the future, and your doctor rules out more serious causes of heavy bleeding, you may be a good candidate for the NovaSure procedure.
