About the Procedure: During the treatment, your bladder will be full to allow Dr. Armstrong to monitor your procedure using an abdominal ultrasound. A slender probe is gently inserted through your vagina, into your uterus, and is cooled until it reaches subzero temperatures. The procedure generally takes only 20 to 30 minutes.
Immediately following the treatment, some patients feel cramping similar to a menstrual period. Dr. Armstrong may provide you with a mild medication such as ibuprofen to keep you comfortable. You will want to take it easy for the rest of the day, but most patients can return to normal activities by the next day.
Results: Within the first three months following the treatment, you should experience a reduction in bleeding. Some women find that their periods return to more normal levels. Other women find that their bleeding is completely eliminated or will only spot for a few days a month.
In a clinical study of "Her Option", 94% of treatments were successful. In addition, patients who undergo the treatment often report a reduction in PMS symptoms, such as fatigue, irritability, and cramping.
Note: You should only have "Her Option" if you no longer desire to have children. It is possible to become pregnant following the treatment. Such a pregnancy would be high risk for the woman and the fetus. Therefore, a reliable form of birth control is necessary following treatment. What are the Signs of Heavy Periods?
