Candidates for ablation are typically women who have symptomatic uterine fibroids and wish to preserve their uterus or avoid more invasive surgical procedures. Your eligibility for the procedure depends on factors such as the size, number, and location of the fibroids, as well as your overall health and reproductive goals.
Safe, Sound Fibroid and Endometriosis Removal
Ablation aims to treat abnormal uterine bleeding by removing or destroying the lining of the uterus, or fibroids. It’s a minimally invasive option that can reduce menstrual bleeding, relieve pain and improve your overall quality of life.
Dr. Soyini Hawkins founded the Fibroid and Pelvic Wellness Center of Georgia with a focus on providing women’s health treatments using noninvasive techniques like ablation for women in Atlanta.
Procedure Highlights
- Minimally invasive procedure
- A specialized device for RF ablation of fibroids
- Real-time ultrasound imaging ensures accurate targeting
- Typically performed on an outpatient basis
- Shorter recovery times compared to traditional surgery
Our Process
Before the procedure, your physician may give you anesthesia or medication to relax, depending on their recommendation. We may perform imaging tests such as ultrasound or MRI to locate the fibroids. Throughout the procedure, your physician will monitor the progress of the ablation using ultrasound imaging. We can treat multiple fibroids during a single session, depending on their size and location.
After the procedure, patients may experience mild cramping, spotting, or vaginal discharge, which typically resolves within a few days. Most patients can resume normal activities within 1 to 2 days.
Our Promise
Less Invasive Approach
This minimally invasive procedure allows patients an incision-free option to address multiple fibroids or endometriosis tissue in the muscles of their uterus.
Maintain Your Fertility
Ablation offers several potential benefits, including the complete preservation of the uterus, allowing women to maintain fertility and avoid the need for a hysterectomy.
Faster Recovery
Patients typically experience a faster recovery period compared to more invasive surgical options. Ablation generally has fewer side effects compared to hormonal treatments or hysterectomy.

Ablation for women in Atlanta offers several potential benefits, including preservation of the uterus, a minimally invasive approach without incisions, and shorter recovery time. There’s also a reduced risk of complications compared to traditional surgical options such as hysterectomy or myomectomy.
Patients may experience some discomfort or cramping during the procedure, but anesthesia or sedation is used to minimize pain. After the procedure, patients may experience mild cramping, spotting, or vaginal discharge, which typically resolves within a few days.
Ablation protects fertility by preserving the uterus. While some patients may experience changes in menstrual bleeding patterns after the procedure, fertility is unaffected, and many women continue to have normal menstrual cycles.
Improvement in symptoms such as heavy menstrual bleeding, pelvic pain, and pressure may be gradual and may vary from person to person. Some patients may experience relief soon after the procedure, while others may see improvement over several weeks to months as the fibroids shrink.
