Her Option® is a procedure
to treat “menorrhagia” (men-or-ra-jah), a medical term
for menstrual periods that are too heavy, too frequent, or
last too long. Her
Option is designed for office use and women’s comfort in
mind. The
procedure typically takes 20 to 30 minutes and uses
cryoablation (cold temperatures). Cold has a natural analgesic affect, reducing pain associated
with the procedure. Her
Option is a natural choice for women with heavy periods who
are looking for an alternative to a hysterectomy,
maintaining your natural hormones.
During the treatment, your doctor will
monitor the progress of the treatment using an abdominal
ultrasound. A slender probe will be gently inserted through your vagina
into your uterus and is cooled until it reaches sub-zero
temperatures. Typically,
multiple ice zones are formed.
The Her Option procedure:

effective. In
a clinical study with Her Option, 91% of patients
surveyed at two years following treatment were very or
extremely satisfied.

women find that their periods return to more normal
levels. Other women will find that their bleeding is completely
eliminated or will only spot for a few days a month

medication for the treatment
