Hi my sister had this done and I used to work very close to the operating
room. When they use the therma choice, they burn off the lining of the
uterus so that you won't have any tissue to shread and therefore won't
bleed. Unfortunately this will make you infertile and sometimes you will
still bleed. If you have anymore questions please feel free to e-mail me
privately. Anita aandadrywall@msn.com
