Microwave Endometrial Ablation in India starts from $5800. The total cost of the treatment depends on the diagnosis and facilities opted by the patient.
Endometrial ablation is an outpatient procedure that is used to remove the endometrial lining in the uterus of a woman suffering from unusually high menstrual bleeding. During the procedure, the endometrium is ablated or destroyed with the help of laser or microwave.
Endometrial ablation surgery is not recommended for women who wish to conceive in the future. This is because this procedure may permanently damage the layers of the uterus and the endometrium may no longer be suitable for the attachment of the developing fetus.
Uterine ablation is most commonly recommended for women who suffer from heavy menstrual bleeding and do not wish to undergo hysterectomy or the surgical removal of the uterus. This procedure is either conducted at the doctor’s office or at a hospital. It can be conducted under local or light anesthesia or general or spinal anesthesia.
Uterine ablation is not recommended for patients who have:
- Uterine, cervical, or vaginal infection
- Pelvic inflammatory disease (PID)
- Endometrial, uterine, or cervical cancer
- An intrauterine device (IUD)
- Pregnancy
