Isn't it "cauterised"?

Cauterisation means to burn in a medical sense. It can stop bleeding and kill infection. Often done with an electrically heated wire.

Unless you mean "Curettage" (sp?) as in "D%26C" (dilation and curettage) where they scrape the womb-lining.

Cauterization destroys abnormal tissue using heat, electricity or chemicals. It can be done in a physician's office or in a hospital on an outpatient basis. Usually, no anesthesia is necessary. Cauterization is considered very safe. However, occasionally it causes scarring that makes future Pap smears difficult to interpret.

I guess you mean cautery to the cervix. This is a procedure used to deal with cervical erosions and low grade CIN disease.

Either a freezing or a heated probe is used to 'burn' the damaged tissue. This then scars and repairs.

Yep you really do mean cauterised. An easy mistake to make. It is done to reduce or if you are very lucky stop period bleeding. A gynaecologist does this procedure in a day surgery unit at hospital. It is best to have a light anaesthetic as it is uncomfortable, this could be an epidural or general or even heavy sedation. There are 2 main ways of doing the procedure. 1, with a small metal ball which carries a small electrical charge that burns the lining of the womb which the doctor moves around using a small telescope to help him/she see. or 2, using a small 'balloon' that is inserted into the womb, filled with fluid and heated to about 75'. The are other techniques such as microwave ablation and laser ablation. Each method destroys the lining of the womb. You will never be able to conceive children once this method has been used and it does not stop everyones periods but i should reduce them in almost all cases. It is performed for heavy periods that have no other serious cause. I have had it done twice as the first time didn't work very well.
