Yes for heavy long irregular periods, best thing I ever had done. Ensure you have general anaesthetic, I think recovery is only a day or so, had it done as outpatient. No problems since, highly recommend.

Hi,

Microwave ablation

This is a procedure, similar to radiofrequency ablation, which uses heat from microwave energy to destroy cancer cells. It can be used to treat primary liver cancer. Like other ablative therapies, it is not aimed at curing your cancer. NICE has approved this procedure for use in the NHS under the condition that patients fully understand what is involved and the results of treatment are recorded to provide more information on how well the procedure works.

It would be adviable to fully discuss this treatment and what it would mean for you and your condition with your own medical team,

Best wishes,

Rebecca
