Permanent contraception and heavy menstrual periods
Will permanent contraception help control my heavy periods?
Permanent contraception does not rely on hormones to prevent pregnancy, so it should not have any effect on your periods. However, staying on hormone-based temporary birth control is not the only option to control heavy bleeding.
There is a safe, simple procedure that can be performed in a doctor's office that can put an end to heavy bleeding. Hologic, the same company that brings you Adiana Permanent Contraception, also offers the NovaSure procedure, the leading endometrial ablation treatment for heavy bleeding. This minimally invasive procedure controls heavy bleeding by using energy to remove the lining of the uterus, the part that causes the bleeding -- so you can choose the convenience and certainty of permanent birth control and put an end to heavy periods.
