|
| During NovaSure |
| • |
The type of medications you receive depends on a number of factors, such as whether the procedure takes place in a hospital, surgery center, or doctor’s office. |
| • |
During the procedure, the doctor opens your cervix, inserts a slender wand, and extends a triangular mesh device in to your uterus. |
| • |
The device is then inserted and adjusted to the exact size and shape of the uterus. |
| • |
Radio frequency energy is then delivered for up to 90 seconds. The whole process usually takes about 5 minutes. |
|
| Recovery after NovaSure |
| • |
You may feel some soreness, mild cramping, and have some discharge |
| • |
Ask your doctor about medication to help reduce cramping. |
| • |
The length of your stay after the procedure will depend upon whether it takes place in a hospital, surgery center, or doctor’s office. |
| • |
Your doctor will give you specific discharge instructions, so please follow them to ensure a proper recovery. |
| • |
Most women report little or no pain, and return to regular activities within a day. |
| • |
It may take up to three months for you to see the full benefits of NovaSure. But it’s worth the wait! |
