How it Works
What can Her Option® do for you?
Each month during your period, you shed your uterine lining (endometrium). This
shedding process is what causes normal menstrual flow.
Her Option® Office Cryoablation Therapy is a safe and effective ablation procedure
that uses sub-zero temperatures (cryoablation) to reduce your heavy periods to normal
levels.
The cold temperatures destroy the endometrium. With the endometrium reduced or eliminated,
there’s less tissue to shed each period. The result? Dramatically less menstrual
bleeding.
Cryoablation—a proven ablation technique
Cryoablation is a time-tested treatment with proven success in treating many medical
conditions. Gynecologists are very familiar with the therapy and all its possible
applications.
Other ablation processes work through energy or heat. Cryoablation uses sub-zero
temperatures to reduce or eliminate the uterine lining. The natural analgesic affect
of these low temperatures reduces patient discomfort during the procedure. Plus,
ultrasound guidance during the procedure lets your doctor monitor the therapy as
it happens, offering an additional level of safety.
Cryoablation offers additional long-term benefits, including:
- minimal scarring (this feature may help your doctor identify future issues more quickly)
- improvement of pain and mood related to PMS
