Hello.
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic forum.
Cauterisation of uterine endometrium is a very good treatment option for excessive bleeding where there are no fibroids in the uterus. Advantage is that you will be saved from a major surgery. Disadvantage is there is a chance of failure and recurrence after 2-3 years.
