What Is Endometrial Ablation with NovaSure®?
Endometrial ablation is a medical procedure that removes or destroys the endometrial lining of the uterus, which is responsible for menstrual bleeding. The NovaSure® device utilises advanced radiofrequency energy to thermally treat the endometrium precisely and efficiently. The procedure is quick, safe, and has an excellent success rate, with over 90% of women reporting their periods have successfully reduced or stopped at one year.

What to Expect
On the Day of the Procedure
On the day of your NovaSure® endometrial ablation, our team will ensure you feel comfortable and prepared. Here’s what you can expect:
Arrival and Preparation
- You will be welcomed into our clinic and guided to a private treatment room.
- Our medical team will review your procedure details and address any last-minute questions.
The Procedure
- NovaSure® ablation is performed under local anaesthetic in a calm, outpatient setting.
- Using the NovaSure® device, thermal energy is applied to remove the endometrial lining.
- The entire process typically takes less than 15 minutes.
Post-Procedure Care
You will be monitored briefly in our recovery area to ensure you are comfortable and ready to go home.
Sedation
If you prefer, you have the option of receiving sedation during the NovaSure® procedure. Sedation is provided by a Consultant Anaesthetist who inserts a cannula in the back of your hand and delivers some medication to make you drowsy.
The sedation means that you are drowsy throughout your procedure and usually won’t remember it afterwards. The effects will wear off very quickly as soon as the sedation medicine is stopped at the end of the procedure – typically within 10-15 minutes.
If you have your procedure performed under sedation, you will need a responsible adult to take you home afterwards and stay with you for 4 hours. You should not drive until the following day.
