Better is possible

Suffering from fibroids or heavy menstrual bleeding?  

Better starts here. 

Stop suffering and start living

Women are often told painful periods and heavy bleeding are “just part of being a woman.” That’s not the case.

If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms, it could be a sign of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), often caused by fibroids, polyps or other uterine issues.

  • Using more than one pad or tampon every hour
  • Changes or irregularities in your menstrual cycle
  • Bleeding longer than seven days

Together with your doctor, find symptom relief that fits your lifestyle.

Stop waiting. A better life is possible.

Important Safety Information

The Acessa ProVu system is intended to identify and shrink symptomatic uterine fibroids. The Acessa ProVu system is used by trained physicians during laparoscopic surgery under general anesthesia. Rare but serious risks of this procedure include, but are not limited to, infection, internal injury, blood loss and complications related to laparoscopic surgery and/or general anesthesia. This procedure is not recommended for women who are planning future pregnancy. This information is not medical advice. Please discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor to find out if the Acessa procedure may be right for you.

MyoSure tissue removal system is intended to remove unwanted tissue from the uterus. During a MyoSure procedure, a trained gynecologist inserts the MyoSure device through your vagina and then removes the unwanted tissue from inside the uterus. Use of the MyoSure system is not appropriate for patients who are or may be pregnant, or have signs or symptoms of a pelvic infection, cervical cancer, or previously diagnosed uterine cancer. As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks including but not limited to internal injury, excessive bleeding, and complications related to anesthesia. Temporary side effects may include cramping, bleeding, fever, and nausea. This information is not medical advice. Please discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor to find out if the MyoSure procedure may be right for you.
