By: Ovation Obstetrics & Gynecology:
Heavy menstrual bleeding can interfere with your daily life, leaving you tired, uncomfortable, and limited in what you can do. At Ovation Obstetrics & Gynecology in Frisco, TX, we offer NovaSure® Endometrial Ablation, a safe and effective treatment designed to reduce or stop heavy bleeding—without the need for major surgery.
What Is NovaSure Endometrial Ablation?
NovaSure is a quick, in-office procedure that removes the endometrial lining of the uterus—the tissue responsible for monthly bleeding. Using controlled radiofrequency energy, NovaSure precisely targets and destroys this lining in just a few minutes. The goal is to dramatically lessen or even eliminate menstrual bleeding while preserving the uterus.
How Does the Procedure Work?
- A thin, wand-like device is inserted into the uterus.
- A soft netting expands to fit its shape.
- Gentle radiofrequency energy is delivered for about 90 seconds.
- The device is then removed, and the treatment is complete.
Most women return to their regular activities within a day or two, making it a convenient option for busy lifestyles.
Who Is a Good Candidate for NovaSure?
NovaSure is ideal for women who:
- Experience heavy menstrual bleeding that disrupts daily life
- Have completed childbearing (pregnancy after ablation is unsafe)
- Want to avoid a hysterectomy or hormone-based treatments
- Have not responded to other therapies
Your provider will evaluate your medical history, uterine shape, and any underlying conditions before recommending the procedure.
Benefits of NovaSure Endometrial Ablation

What to Expect After NovaSure
