摘要: AbstractHeavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a common problem in women of reproductive age group with major impact on their quality life (QoL). The aim was to study the short-term effectiveness Thermablate Endometrial Ablation System (EAS) and its QoL HMB. This prospective cohort conducted consecutive 72 suffering from success rate estimated patients’ compared before after procedure using Aberdeen menorrhagia severity scale. mean follow-up period 18 months (6–24 months). body mass index were 48 (±5.2) years 33.2 (±7.4) kg/m2 respectively. Among treated participants, 58 (80.6%) reported absence bleeding. A significant decrease observed missed social activity increase leisure time activities. overall patient satisfaction 95.7%. EAS an effective minimally invasive treatment marked improvement HMB.Impact statementHea...
