Objective:
To evaluate the rate of response to treatment with the NovaSure endometrial ablation device among Iranian women with menorrhagia.
Methods:
Twenty 35-50-year-old women with menorrhagia who were referred to Arash Hospital, Tehran, Iran, in 2008 were enrolled. They underwent endometrial ablation via the NovaSure system and were followed-up for 2 years.
Results:
The incidence of amenorrhea was 30.0% at the end of the 2-year follow-up period. Hypomenorrhea was reported by 40.0% of women. The mean number of days of bleeding per month decreased significantly, from 30.0 ± 6.4 days before treatment to 3.1 ± 2.6 days after 2 years (P < 0.001). The severity of bleeding decreased significantly within 2 years after treatment (P < 0.001). In total, 85.0% of women were satisfied and 90.0% had responded to treatment-as defined by amenorrhea, hypomenorrhea, or return to normal menstruation.
Conclusion:
The NovaSure system is effective and should be considered by gynecologists for the treatment of menorrhagia.
