摘要
Heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a common problem in women of reproductive age group with major impact on their quality of life (QoL). The aim was to study the short-term effectiveness of Thermablate Endometrial Ablation System (EAS) and its impact on QoL in women with HMB. This was a prospective cohort study conducted on consecutive 72 women suffering from HMB. The success rate was estimated and patients' QoL was compared before and after the procedure using the Aberdeen menorrhagia severity scale. The mean follow-up period was 18months (6-24months). The mean age and body mass index were 48 (5.2) years 33.2 (7.4) kg/m(2) respectively. Among treated participants, 58 (80.6%) reported the absence of bleeding. A significant decrease was observed in the rate of missed social activity and increase in the leisure time activities. The overall patient satisfaction was 95.7%. Thermablate EAS is an effective minimally invasive treatment with marked improvement in QoL in women with HMB.Impact statementHeavy menstrual bleeding (HMB) is a common problem that affects 11-13% of reproductive age women with major impact on their quality of life (QoL). A variety of methods for endometrial ablation has been used for the destruction of the endometrial lining to treat HMB.The short-term results of this study shows amenorrhoea rate of (80.6%) after the procedure and a significant decrease in the rate of missed social activity and increase in the leisure time activities with marked improvement in QoL. The overall patient satisfaction was 95.7%.Thermablate Endometrial Ablation System is an effective minimally invasive treatment for HMB with advantages of shorter operating time, shorter hospital stay and high-level patient satisfaction. However, further clinical research with large-scale studies and possible comparison with other treatment options are recommended.
