What is the GYNECARE THERMACHOICE Uterine Balloon Therapy System?

It is a simple, one-time, minimally-invasive 8-minute outpatient treatment performed by your doctor that is usually a permanent solution for heavy periods. GYNECARE THERMACHOICE is a type of endometrial ablation that uses heat to treat the endometrium. It requires no incisions and may even be performed in your doctor's office under local anesthesia, and it's covered by most insurance plans.
