The prevalence of menometrorrhagia is estimated at 11% to 13% in the general population and increases with age to reach 24% in 36-40 year olds. It is the leading cause of gynecological consultations. Considered benign, menometrorrhagia is responsible for anemia and impaired quality of life. It is the most common cause of iron deficiency anemia in premenopausal women.

The etiology of menometrorrhagia is varied. The main causes of menometrorrhagia are organic causes, iatrogenic causes, coagulopathies, hypothyroidism, and endometrial atrophy. In the majority of cases, no underlying pathology is found; they are then called functional idiopathic. This is a diagnosis of exclusion.

In idiopathic functional menometrorrhagia, the first-line treatment is medical. In the event of failure of medical treatment (in 50% of cases), in women who do not wish to maintain their reproductive possibilities, surgical treatment may be considered.

The Cavaterm™ system is a balloon-assisted endometrial ablation device. Treatment with Cavaterm™ involves removing the endometrium using a minimally invasive technique. The procedure is short-term and outpatient.

In this study, we aim to evaluate the Cavaterm™ system for the treatment of idiopathic functional menometrorrhagia.
