Her Option Office Cryoablation Therapy
Her Option® is a
procedure to treat abnormal uterine bleeding or “menorrhagia” (men-or-ra-jah),
a medical term for menstrual periods that are too heavy, too frequent, or last
too long. Her Option is designed for
office use with women’s comfort in mind. The
procedure typically takes 20 to 30 minutes and uses cryoablation (cold
temperatures). Cold has a natural
analgesic affect, reducing pain associated with the procedure.
Her Option is a natural choice for women with heavy periods who are
looking for an alternative to a hysterectomy and have a desire to maintain their
natural hormones.
During the procedure, your
doctor will monitor the progress of the treatment using an abdominal ultrasound.
A slender probe will be gently inserted through your vagina into your
uterus and is cooled until it reaches sub-zero temperatures.
Typically, multiple ice zones are formed.
