More than 20% of all hysterectomies performed in the U.S. last year were done in an effort to stop abnormal uterine bleeding. Although this procedure can be effective, it can also be physically and emotionally disruptive to your normal life activity. At All About Women, Drs. Mark and Trudi Griffo offer conservative solutions to treat abnormal or heavy uterine bleeding.
There are many reasons why you may experience abnormal uterine bleeding. Generally these reasons are broken down into two categories, hormonal imbalances and structural problems. To determine your condition, the Drs. Griffo will perform thorough diagnostic testing to examine the uterine cavity. Once the tests have been interpreted, the doctors can recommend treatment options, starting with hormonal manipulation in the form of low-dose birth control pills or progestational agents such as long-acting Depo Provera®. If hormone therapy fails, traditionally the next step would be a hysterectomy.
Thankfully, Drs. Mark and Trudi Griffo know that not everyone who has heavy bleeding needs surgery. That's why they offer new procedures that decrease the need for hysterectomy. Using the process of endometrial ablation, the doctors can destroy the uterine lining and significantly decrease or eliminate bleeding. Methods of endometrial ablation include electrocautery (electric current), Thermachoice (ballon therapy) or hydrothermal ablation (heated fluid). These methods have been successful in women who have normal uterine anatomy. The Drs. Griffo also offer special treatment options for women with abnormal uterine cavities or fibroids.
Abnormal uterine bleeding remains a significant problem for active, healthy women. With a careful consultation and asking the right questions, our doctors may be able to help you avoid hysterectomy.
Don't wait to get the care you deserve. No matter where you are in life — adolescent, pre- or post-menopausal — trust the compassionate husband and wife team of Drs. Mark and Trudi Griffo to provide you with the solutions you need to live a healthy, happy life.
