The clinical effectiveness and cost effectiveness of endometrial ablation for menorrhagia
NICE has recommended that fluid-filled thermal balloon endometrial ablation and microwave endometrial ablation should be options for a woman with heavy menstrual bleeding where surgery is an appropriate way to manage her bleeding.
- The woman and her doctor should choose the type of surgical treatment after they have had a discussion that covers:
- the results that are wanted from the treatment (such as reduced menstrual bleeding or no menstrual bleeding)
- the advantages and disadvantages of all other treatment options ? the specific medical circumstances of the woman (her condition, her suitability for the different surgical treatments, and her wishes).
