GYNECARE THERMACHOICE



A one-day solution to heavy periods that's available in doctors' offices.

GYNECARE THERMACHOICE* is a minimally invasive, non-hormonal treatment developed to reduce excessive menstrual bleeding (the medical term for this is menorrhagia/men-or-ra-jah) in pre-menopausal women who are having heavy periods due to benign (non-cancerous) causes.

GYNECARE THERMACHOICE is an 8-minute treatment that is minimally-invasive and requires no hospital stay. It uses heat to treat the endometrium (en-do-me-tre-um), the lining of the uterus), can be performed under local anesthesia and requires no incision. GYNECARE THERMACHOICE may be performed in your gynecologist's office, eliminating the need to go to the hospital, and it's covered by most insurance plans. Unlike a hysterectomy, GYNECARE THERMACHOICE allows you to preserve your uterus. Recovery is fast - most women return to their normal activities the next day.
