摘要:
Background Endometrial ablation with bipolar radiofrequency energy (NovaSure) for dysfunctional uterine bleeding has gained wide acceptance due to its ease and efficacy. Case A 45-year-old, gravida three, para two, female developed symptomatic Stage 3 pelvic organ prolapse (POP) 1 month after endometrial ablation using NovaSure. Conclusion To our knowledge, this is the first published case of new-onset POP briefly after an endometrial ablation. It is not clear whether there is a causal association between the ablation procedure and de novo POP. Should there be any additional cases of de novo POP post endometrial ablation, further investigation would be warranted.
