Endometrial Ablation
Endometrial ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that stops or reduces menstrual bleeding by removing the uterine lining. This 90-second treatment effectively alleviates symptoms associated with heavy periods, fibroids, and endometriosis. Ideal for women seeking permanent relief from problematic periods without undergoing hysterectomy.
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Customized hormone replacement therapy addresses declining ovarian function during perimenopause and menopause. We offer bioidentical hormone supplements through patches, injections, pills, and pellets to manage symptoms like fatigue, mood changes, and decreased libido while supporting long-term health.
PMS Symptom Treatment
Our specialized treatment for severe premenstrual symptoms targets headaches, mood swings, and fatigue through the DECA-PMS protocol. By addressing vasoactive neuropeptide release from the degrading endometrium, we provide lasting relief for women experiencing debilitating monthly symptoms.
Menopause Management
Comprehensive menopause management combines endometrial ablation with hormone therapy to address both immediate symptoms and long-term health considerations. Our approach focuses on maintaining vitality, sexual health, and disease prevention during the transition to post-reproductive years.
Fibroid Treatment
Minimally invasive fibroid treatment using endometrial ablation reduces symptoms like heavy bleeding and pelvic pain without hysterectomy. This procedure targets abnormal uterine growths while preserving reproductive anatomy, offering faster recovery than traditional surgical options.
