Merit Health Wesley Now Offering New Treatment to Help Women Who Suffer from Heavy Periods
8/2/2023
Hattiesburg, MS — Merit Health Wesley announced that it will be offering a new treatment, an endometrial ablation solution for women suffering from heavy periods.
The cryotherapy device is an FDA-approved endometrial cryoablation technology that can safely and effectively reduce heavy periods and cramping. It uses cooling technology to naturally minimize pain.
“Cerene cryoablation, freezing of the uterine endometrial lining, is transforming how we treat heavy periods by allowing us to prioritize patient comfort before, after and during the procedure,” explains Dr. Joe Washburne with Women’s Pavilion. “We are proud to be the first in Mississippi to offer this treatment and reinforce our commitment to our patients.”
Defined as excessive and prolonged menstrual bleeding that can be accompanied by pain and cramping, heavy periods can result in diminished quality of life. Endometrial ablation has emerged as an increasingly popular treatment for reducing heavy periods due to its safety and efficacy, and it provides a minimally invasive alternative to hysterectomy.
