TerriLynne
"After the age of 40 I started noticing that my periods were becomming irregular and unpredictable. I am at the height of my career and was tired of taking sick days or feeling uncomfortable at work. After extensively talking with Dr. Ghozland, an endometrial ablasion seemed to my best solution. After the procedure, I was back to work the next day. It has been 15 months, and still no periods".
Maryanne
"After beginning Hormone Replacement Therapy for menopausal symptoms, I started having heavier and longer periods which made me tired and frustrated. I discussed this with Dr. Ghozland and we agreed that an edometrial ablation was the best and safest option for me".
Joyce
"Due to personal reasons I have never had the desire to bear children and was tired of having periods. After an extensive discussion with my doctor, they agreed that the lowest risk and least amoutn of recovery time, to eliminate my periods would be an edometrial ablation. I could not be happier with my new quality of life".
Susan
"I never knew I had a problem, I thought everyone had heavy periods. I was constantly feeling tired and moody and had been told countless times that this was part of a normal period. During a routine visit to my gynecologist, I learned that my periods were not typical. After learning about edometrial ablation I opted to have the procdure. My periods are now minimal to non-existent".
Michelle
"I thought Hysterectomy was my only option, due to fibroids that caused heavy periods my entire life.
I really did not want the risks or the down time of surgery and was comforted to learn that edometrial ablations were safer, faster and would help dissolve my fibroids as an out patient procedure with minimal down time".
