[Cryoablation of endometrium in the treatment of pathological metrorrhagia].

It is assumed that pathological metrorrhagia means blood loss amounting to above 80 ml in one menstrual cycle in women without diagnosed anatomical anomalies of uterus. Pathological metrorrhagia is the reason for hospitalization of many women. At present two methods are used in the treatment of this disorder: hormonotherapy and destruction of endometrium. Destruction of endometrium can be performed in case of irregular metrorrhagia in women with excluded malignant neoplasm (on the basis of intake of samples for histopathologic examination) and in women who do not wish to have children any more. There are various methods of endometrium destruction: thermal ablation, microwave ablation, laser ablation and cryoablation. All above mentioned methods are deemed so-called "minimally invasive methods".
