Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology Research ·doi:10.1111/jog.12163

AIM: We aimed to evaluate the efficacy of microwave endometrial ablation at a frequency of 2.45 GHz in women with menorrhagia. This method has been attracting attention as an alternative to hysterectomy in the treatment of functional and or…
