Her Option®, In Office Cryoablation for the Treatment of Heavy Periods

In Office Comfort and Convenience.

• Do you suffer from heavy or long periods?

• Are you past childbearing age?

If you answered “YES” to both of these questions, then you may be a candidate for a procedure known as Cryoablation.

Her Option Cryoablation Therapy from AMS is a treatment option for excessive menstrual bleeding (menorrhagia) that ablates endometrial tissue through subzero temperatures, using ultrasound guidance to monitor the safety and extent of treatment.

Her Option is a comfortable treatment for menorrhagia because the natural anesthesia effects of cold eliminate the need for IV sedation in most cases, and allows the patient to be treated in the comfort of the office versus scheduling and waiting for an operating room.  This procedure significantly reduces and in some women, totally eliminates bleeding. 

The procedure takes less than 30 minutes and is performed in the WSWH surgical suite by the physicians of WSWH.  The patient is released to recover at home and able to resume normal activity the next day.  In office cryoablation is covered by most major PPO insurance companies as well as Medicare.

Testimonial
I am 48 years old and my body has been experiencing the roller coaster ride we affectionately call peri-menopause. 
After nearly four years of irregular and very heavy periods, my physician offered me a great alternative.  With this procedure I would no longer have to deal with a heavy period that would last 3-4 weeks long, every month or two. 
The procedure was simple, cost effective because it was covered by my insurance, and I felt safe in my doctor’s office.  I experienced mild cramping for a day or two after the procedure, but that was all the discomfort I had. 
I have not experienced a period in nearly five months.  My color is normal, I am no longer anemic, and my quality of life increased dramatically.  I may never get another period again, which suits me fine! 

I am so glad my doctor told me about this procedure.   – Sincerely, CLC
