NovaSure endometrial ablation is a safe and straightforward procedure, but there are still some risks, such as thermal injury, uterine perforation, and pelvic infection.  After the procedure, you may experience side effects, including cramping, nausea, vomiting, discharge, and spotting.  We will give you specific discharge instructions about how you should plan to get home and what you can and can’t do once you get there. Most women experience little or no pain and can return to regular activities within a day. However, you should call us if you experience increased abnormal discharge, intense post-procedural pain, increased bleeding, or a fever above 100.4°.
