RECLAIM A SUPERIOR QUALITY OF LIFE
BY ENDING YOUR MENSTRUAL FLOW

Busy women don’t have time to deal with the monthly misery of a period. Are you a woman who has completed having her family or who is beyond childbearing years but still dealing with inconvenient monthly periods? Or, are you experiencing lengthy, heavy monthly cycles that control your life, causing you to consider a hysterectomy to eliminate the annoying monthly flow? Have you, like tens of thousands of women, tried taking hormones, injecting Depo-Provera or inserted IUDs to manipulate or avoid your monthly periods? Finally, you don’t have to settle for these sub-optimal solutions any longer.

Dr. Keri Sweeten understands women’s concerns about ongoing monthly periods, so she pioneered her practice around Stopflo™ endometrial ablation, an important FDA-approved technological advancement in women’s healthcare that effectively reduces, and in a majority of cases eliminates, one’s period. Dr. Sweeten was one of the first physicians in Arizona to perform the advanced technique of radiofrequency and is one of the leading gynecologists trained in this sophisticated minimally invasive procedure that treats and permanently removes the inner lining of the uterus. By using energy to remove the endometrium, this one-time procedure requires no incisions and can usually be performed in less than an hour under mild sedation in the comfort of Dr. Sweeten’s state-certified facility. The Stopflo™ procedure has no long-term risks or side effects, does not cause cancer, or affect your hormones.

After a local anesthetic is applied a slender wand is inserted through the cervix into the uterus. Energy is delivered into the uterus to treat the uterine lining as well as seal the blood vessels that supply it. The device is then retracted and removed. Most patients go home within an hour and return to normal activity within one or two days. Stopflo™ requires no pre-treatment and can be performed during any point of the patient’s menstrual cycle. Though this procedure could diminish the occurrence of pregnancy, Stopflo™ is not a form of contraception.

The main reason that the period exists biologically is to act as a nest for a fertilized egg. Once you are finished with having children, there’s no longer a reason to deal with it.
