A good candidate for endometrial ablation is typically a woman who has heavy menstrual bleeding, also known as menorrhagia, that is not caused by a structural abnormality of the uterus or other underlying medical condition. This procedure is often recommended for women who do not want to have children in the future and who have completed childbearing. Additionally, a good candidate for endometrial ablation is a woman who has not responded to other treatment options such as medication or hormonal therapy, or who cannot take these treatments due to other health issues. Endometrial ablation is not a suitable option for women who have uterine fibroids, pelvic inflammatory disease, or an active pelvic infection. Women who have or are at high risk for endometrial cancer should not undergo this procedure.
