Who are the right candidates for Novasure? Ask yourself these questions: does your menstrual cycle seem abnormally long or heavy? Are you afraid of leaking through a pad or tampon? Have you been diagnosed with anemia from blood loss? If so, you may have menorrhagia. Menorrhagia is defined as unusually heavy or long-lasting menstrual periods. It occurs in 1 out of every 5 women. If you believe that you might have excessive menstrual bleeding, you might want to consider doing the Novasure procedure. But do consult with your physician first before you take any action.
