What's New..... June 2007 - NovaSure Procedure
The physicians of Oswego County OB-GYN, P.C. are pleased to announce that they perform the new NovaSure procedure. Novasure is a quick, safe, simple, one-time endometrial ablation treatment which gently removes the lining of the uterus to control heavy bleeding. An advance in women's health, the ablation is completed quickly and only needs to be performed once to lighten or stop your periods. Without the side effects of hormones or the risks of hysterectomy, NovaSure is a minor procedure, with a quick recovery time so you can go on with your life sooner.
NovaSure is proven safe and successful. Clinical trials have demonstrated that more than 9 out of 10 women return to normal or lower than normal bleeding levels. Many women also experience additional benefits including a reduction in PMS and painful periods. Some patients even enjoy no periods at all. Oswego County OB-GYN, P.C. physicians perform the procedure in the new Outpatient Surgery center at Oswego Hospital. Most women experienced no post-procedural pain and return to work and regular activities the next day.
Women are extremely pleased with the outcomes and 97% of patients would recommend NovaSure to other women. For more information on Novasure, visit their website at Novasure.com call our office to discuss with your gynecologist.
