Fed up of Heavy Bleeding?

Each month during a woman’s period (menses), the inner lining (endometrium) of the uterus is shed.  This varies from light and occasional to extremely heavy with significant cramping and discomfort.   There are many options to deal with controlling heavy bleeding.

For women who have completed their childbearing, one effective approach is to perform an endometrial ablation.  This is an incision-less, quick, outpatient procedure whereby the inner lining (endometrium) of the uterus is destroyed.   One of the most popular methods of accomplishing this is the Novasure endometrial ablation.  All of our physicians currently perform this popular service in our office.   Call today to discuss whether you are a candidate for this procedure.

Done with having kids?

After having completed childbearing, many women wonder what their options are regarding birth control. Not everyone remembers to take the Pill everyday. The good news is, Women’s Health of Augusta has several options that could be a great fit for you. If you desire permanent sterilization, consider the Adiana procedure. This is an incisionless in-office procedure to block your fallopian tubes. With the help of intravenous medications, the procedure takes only about twenty minutes and is virtually painless. Keep in mind, this procedure is permanent and irreversible. Call our office today to find out more information. If you have questions regarding insurance coverage for this procedure, our helpful staff will be more than happy to assist you.
