Summary

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 could stop periods and be done with local anesthesia in an outpatient setting. 38 women aged 40-50 who did not want future pregnancy took part. The study measured how well it stopped bleeding, pain during the procedure, and quality of life.
