Abstract
50% patients were in the age group of 35-45 years. 28(56%) procedures were done under local anaesthesia and 22(44%) under general anaesthesia. The patients were followed up for a period of 3 to 29 months (median 16 months). Seven(14%) had amenorrhoea and 40(80%) had normal periods or hypomenorrhoea. Three(6%) patients continued to have menorrhagia and were considered failures. 94% patients were satisfied with the procedure and there were no complications in this series. Conclusions : Uterine balloon therapy is a simple, safe and effective method for the treatment of menorrhagia in selected patients.
