Brief Summary

This is a clinical study without a formal hypothesis. The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the use of the Aurora Endometrial Ablation System in achieving a return to normal menstrual blood loss at 12 months post-treatment, in premenopausal women with menorrhagia due to benign causes for whom childbearing is complete or no longer wish to retain fertility.

Conditions

Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 25 Years - 50 Years
• Sex: female
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Adult (18-64)

You may qualify if:

• Refractory menorrhagia with no definable organic cause
• Female subject from age 25 to 50 years
• Uterine sound measurement of 6.0cm to 10.0cm (external os to internal fundus)
• One of the following criteria:
• A. Documented history of menorrhagia secondary to dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB).
• B. If a pictorial blood loss assessment chart (PBLAC) scoring systems is used; a minimum PBLAC score of ≥150 for 3 months prior to study enrollment; OR, A minimum PBLAC score ≥150 for one month for women who either i. had at least 3 prior months documented failed medical therapy; or ii. had a contraindication to medical therapy; or iii. refused medical therapy
• Premenopausal at enrollment as determined by FSH measurement ≤ 40 IU/ml
• Not pregnant and no desire to be pregnant in the future
• Patient agrees not to use hormonal contraception or any other medical intervention for bleeding during the study
• Able to provide written informed consent using a form that has been approved by the reviewing IRB/EC
• Subject agrees to follow-up exams and data collection, including ability to accurately use menstrual diaries
• Subject who is literate or demonstrates an understanding on how to use menstrual diaries or how to collect and provide used sanitary products

You may not qualify if:

• Pregnancy or subject with a desire to conceive
• Endometrial hyperplasia as confirmed by histology
• Presence of active endometritis
• Active pelvic inflammatory disease
• Active sexually transmitted disease (STD), at the time of ablation. Note: Treatment of STD documented in the chart serves as sufficient evidence of infection resolution. Patient may be considered for study enrollment.
• Presence of bacteremia, sepsis, or other active systemic infection
• Active infection of the genitals, vagina, cervix, uterus or urinary tract at the time of the procedure
• Known/suspected gynecological malignancy within the past 5 years
• Known clotting defects or bleeding disorders
• Untreated/unevaluated cervical dysplasia (except CIN I)
• Known/suspected abdominal/pelvic cancer
• Prior uterine surgery (except low segment cesarean section) that interrupts the integrity of the uterine wall (e.g., myomectomy or classical cesarean section)
• Previous endometrial ablation procedure
• Currently on medications that could thin the myometrial muscle, such as long-term steroid use (except inhaler or nasal therapy for asthma)
• Currently on anticoagulants
