Objective:
To demonstrate the results obtained with the use of the thermal balloon in the dysfunctional uterine bleeding treatment.
Patients And Method:
We studied 50 climacteric patients with dysfunctional uterine bleeding diagnosis. Those diagnosed with moderate to severe dysfunctional uterine bleeding (with hematic losses of 140 to 180 mL per event), without benign or malignant endometrial neoplastic compromise were selected for ablation.
Results:
The immediate or mediate evolution was satisfactory: five patients had moderate to acute pain, and 20 of them had mild to moderate pain. Likewise, 10 patients had normal bleedings (60 to 80 mL), 8 hypooligomenorrhea (10 to 20 mL), and 7 amenorrhea.
Conclusions:
Endometrial ablation with thermal balloon is an easy, useful, and important procedure in climacteric patients with excessive bleedings.
