The Acessa™ System For Treatment of Uterine Fibroids
Fibroids are a real pain, causing heavy periods, bloating, and more. If you suspect you have uterine fibroids or have already been diagnosed with them, the Acessa® procedure is a treatment option that lets you keep your uterus intact. The medical term for the Acessa procedure is laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation (Lap-RFA). Essentially, the doctor delivers heat directly into the fibroid causing it to shrink over time and, in turn, relieve your symptoms. Most patients are cleared to go home within 2 hours and are usually ready to return to work after 4 to 5 days. As with any medical procedure, there are potential risks to consider and discuss with your doctor when making your treatment decision.

While it’s true that heavy periods are a common symptom of fibroids, every woman's experience is different! Bloating, fatigue, and frequent urination are also signs.

Another misconception about fibroids is that watchful waiting, medication, or hysterectomies are the only solutions. There are other non-hormonal and minimally invasive options.

If heavy bleeding or bloating make you second-guess your outfit or interrupt your everyday life, better is possible.

Your period is more than a monthly inconvenience. It's a messenger. 📬

A healthy menstrual cycle is a sign that your reproductive system is functioning properly. It also plays a role in your emotional, mental, and physical well-being. While periods can fluctuate, symptoms shouldn't impact your daily life.

Changes to keep track of include:

🩸 Heavy bleeding
🩸 Painful cramps
🩸 Unusual spotting

If something feels off, take charge of your health. Monitor your period and record any inconsistencies to help guide conversations with your doctor.

What do Venus Williams, Lupita Nyong'o, Bozoma Saint John, and countless other women worldwide have in common? They’ve bravely used their platforms to share their personal stories and raise awareness about a uterine health issue called fibroids.

Maybe you’ve read about these women, or you know others who have come forward to share their experience with the condition. In the U.S, nearly 70% of white women and more than 80% of Black women will have uterine fibroids by the age of 50. And most U.S. women will develop fibroids in their lifetime.¹ Unfortunately, many wait years to seek treatment for disruptive symptoms. Why is that the case for such a common health concern? An article from Newsweek sheds light on some reasons why.

Women who suffer from heavy bleeding and pelvic pain—and are told their symptoms are normal—might not know that those could be signs of fibroids. And if they are diagnosed, a hysterectomy may be the only treatment option they're offered.

Our goal is to empower women to speak up for better care. If your period is negatively impacting your life, or you have fibroids and want to know about uterine-sparing procedures, we're here to help.

Being informed is key to advocating for your health. 💬

Take it from Dr. Jennifer Elliott, who says there's nothing wrong with women asking their provider questions.

If you're feeling unsure of where to begin, we understand. Start the conversation with a question like…

➡️ I’ve noticed that my periods have changed. Can we talk about that?
➡️ My lower back and legs are really painful on my period; is that normal?
➡️ I’ve heard that many women are getting treated for heavy periods…is this something I should consider?

Women are often told painful, heavy periods are part of who they are. We know that's not the case. 🙅‍♀️

Using more than one pad or tampon every hour could be a sign of abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB), often caused by fibroids, polyps, or other health conditions.

The good news is there’s a treatment option that can lighten or end your heavy period.¹ NovaSure® endometrial ablation is a non-hormonal procedure that requires no incisions, and many women return to normal activities the next day.

You deserve better than heavy periods holding you back. To learn more about the NovaSure procedure, visit: https://ow.ly/ViH850Xv8Lo

Our Story and FAQ

Dr. Bruce Lee’s fibroid patients all had the same concern. They didn’t want a hysterectomy or a myomectomy. They wanted a better option for them. And he agreed.

It just so happened around the same time, Dr. Lee was evaluating a new technology designed to treat liver-cancer- radiofrequency ablation. After pouring over thousands of pages of research about the science behind radiofrequency ablation, he wondered, if this can be used to shrink liver tumors, could it work for fibroids too?

It did. The Acessa procedure has transformed from a patient’s wish to a reality that is changing the standard of care for fibroids.
