Say Goodbye to Heavy, Painful Periods with Her Option®
Cryoablation Therapy
If you suffer from heavy, painful periods, you now have a new option. The Rubino Group was the first in the NJ and NY Metro area to introduce Her Option® Cryoablation Therapy – a safe and simple 15-minute procedure to eliminate heavy, painful periods. Dr. Rubino is nationally recognized for his expertise on Her Option Cryoablation, performing the procedure for over 5 years. He also invented the “Clock Technique” to ensure the precision of this leading-edge treatment and teaches seminars on the procedure and the technique.
This simple process involves freezing the lining of the uterus to stop or reduce menstrual flow, without anesthesia, surgery or hormones. Many women return to their normal activities the next day. It’s an extremely safe alternative to hysterectomy to end heavy bleeding.
A slender probe is placed in the uterus through the cervix and is cooled until it reaches subzero temperatures.
Dr. Rubino offers in-office consultations to discuss the procedure and the plan that is right for you. The consultation and procedure is covered by most insurance plans.
Her Option General Information
Her Option was invented to treat "menorrhagia" (men-or-ra-jah), a medical term for menstrual periods that are too heavy, too frequent, or last too long. Her Option is designed for office use and women's comfort in mind. The procedure typically takes 12-15 minutes and uses Cryoablation (cold temperatures) for a natural analgesic affect, reducing any discomfort associated with the procedure.
Her Option is an easy choice for women with heavy periods who are looking for an alternative to a hysterectomy, while maintaining natural hormones.
During the treatment, your doctor will monitor the progress and precision of the treatment using a 4D abdominal ultrasound. A slender probe is gently inserted through the cervix and is cooled until it reaches sub-zero temperatures.
Cryoablation is so safe and effective it is replacing the D&C, which is an older, much less effective treatment for heavy menses or AUB (Abnormal Uterine Bleeding).
