About Endometrial Ablation

Endometrial ablation refers to any method by which the lining of the uterus (endometrium) is destroyed or removed in an effort to normalize or stop menstrual flow.

Commonly considered a “hysterectomy alternative”, the endo-metrial ablation has become a mainstay in the treatment of menstrual problems.

Urinary Incontinence

Losing your urine is no laughing matter – unless you are laughing when it happens... then I guess it is. Seriously though, this is a common problem that many women experience at one time in their lives. Losing urine after child-birth or as you get older is not normal (despite what they say), and is not something that you should feel has to be tolerated. The good news is that most of the time it is completely treatable and new procedures make it much easier than it used to be.

In this helpful booklet Dr. Blake describes the causes of urinary incontinence and offers information on newest technologies available for successful treatment.
