However, abnormally long periods or heavy bleeding during or between periods may indicate a condition known as menorrhagia. Menorrhagia has several possible causes, including hormonal imbalance or the presence of polyps or benign fibroid tumors. One common cause of menorrhagia is a disorder of the uterine lining known as the endometrium. In such cases, endometrial ablation is a treatment that many women have chosen as a far less drastic alternative to a hysterectomy. As a board-certified ob/gyn with over 20 years of experience, Dr. Joseph Berenholz has performed many different ablation techniques used in the treatment of menorrhagia, including: Her Option – Her Option is a menorrhagia treatment option that uses sub-zero temperatures and ultrasound guidance of a probe that freezes and ablates or wears away the uterine lining. This procedure is technically referred to as cryoablation of the endometrium. Novasure – Unlike Her Option, the Novasure technique uses heat rather than cold to ablate the endometrium. With this technique, electrical energy is applied to a mesh placed within the cavity. In addition to endometrial ablation, Dr. Berenholz performs a wide variety of cosmetic and gynecological procedures, from Essure sterilization to laser vaginal rejuvenation.
