New balloon procedure may ease heavy periods without major surgery

This study tested a new device called Lina Librata that uses a balloon to destroy the lining of the uterus in women with heavy menstrual bleeding. The goal was to see if it works well and causes less pain, so it can be done in an outpatient clinic with local anesthesia. The study included 38 women aged 40-50 who did not want more children. The main measure was whether periods stopped completely.
