Candidates for radiofrequency 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.

An Alternative to Surgery for Uterine Fibroid Concerns
Book NowSafe, Sound Fibroid Shrinkage
Radiofrequency ablation aims to treat abnormal uterine bleeding and symptoms of fibroids by destroying the cells of 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 such as a radiofrequency ablation procedure 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 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 a potentially incision-free option to address multiple fibroids in the muscles of their uterus.
Maintain Your Fertility
Radiofrequency ablation offers several potential benefits, including the complete preservation of the uterus, allowing women to potentially maintain fertility and/or avoid the need for a hysterectomy.
Faster Recovery
Patients typically experience a faster recovery period compared to more invasive surgical options. Ablation has fewer side effects compared to hormonal treatments or hysterectomy.

Ablation for women in Atlanta offers several potential benefits, including preservation of the uterus, minimally invasive approach potentially without incisions, and shorter recovery time. There’s also a reduced risk of complications compared to traditional surgical options such as hysterectomy or myomectomy.
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 preserved, 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.
