What Are The Pros And Cons Of Uterus Cauterization?
I have severe periods-bad bleeding, cramps and clots. My dr suggested having my uterus cauterized. What are the pros and cons of this procedure?

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.
