minerva for heavy bleeding

WHAT IS CONSIDERED TO BE ABNORMAL BLEEDING?

According to the National Women’s Health Resource Center, abnormal and heavy menstrual bleeding affects roughly one in five pre-menopausal women.

Abnormal bleeding can often make it difficult to exercise, work, and be socially and sexually active. Symptoms of abnormal menstrual bleeding include:

  • A menstrual cycle that lasts longer than seven days

  • Heavy bleeding that requires you to change your pad or tampon more than once every hour

  • Dizziness or lightheadedness

  • Weakness and lack of energy

​

What is Minerva?

Minerva is an FDA-approved endometrial ablation procedure that reduces, and in some instances completely stops abnormal and heavy menstrual bleeding. Minerva is a wand-like device that is inserted into your uterus to burn the lining of your uterus.
