Her Option® – Treatment for Heavy Period

Her Option® Cryoablation Therapy is a safe, effective treatment for patients with abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB). This minimally invasive procedure uses sub-zero temperatures to destroy the uterine lining, reducing a patient’s periods to normal levels or better.
Cryoablation uses sub-zero temperatures to reduce or eliminate the endometrium. The natural analgesic affect of these low temperatures helps minimize patient discomfort during the procedure. Ultrasound guidance enables real-time visualization during the therapy for added safety.

Candidates

Her Option® is intended for treatment of pre-menopausal women who have completed childbearing, and whose AUB symptoms are the result of benign causes.

Approximate duration of cryoablation procedure
Pre-procedure: 45 minutes
Procedure: 10-20 minutes
Post-procedure: 15 minutes
