Vineland Gynecology Associates now offers endometrial ablation

June 3, 2011 - PRLog -- Vineland Gynecology Associates (VGA) – formerly of Vineland Obstetrical and Gynecological Professional Association (VOGPA) – is the first practice in Cumberland County to offer in-office NOVASURE Endometrial Ablation for patients who experience heavy menstrual bleeding. One in five women experience very heavy menstrual periods that can interfere with everyday life. VGA offers a simple and safe in-office procedure that can lighten - or end - heavy periods without on-going pills and hormonal side-effects. For over 90% of women, In-Office Endometrial Ablation can dramatically reduce or stop menstrual bleeding.

“We are very pleased to be able to offer this in-office procedure,” said Ronald Portadin, MD, FACOG, FACS. “Heavy menstruation can be very debilitating for women and can easily be resolved through this safe and effective procedure.”

Endometrial Ablation is a procedure that destroys – or ablates – the uterine lining, or endometrium. Following Endometrial Ablation, most women have reduced menstrual flow and up to half of the patients who have the procedure stop having periods completely. NOVASURE ablation has proven to be the quickest and most effective ablation procedure. This procedure should not be considered by women who are pregnant or plan to become pregnant.
