If I have endometriosis could the heat used by Trusculpt ID to destroy fat cells impact uterus lining cells and cause bleeding?

Question

Im interesting in the Trusculpt ID procedure to reduce abdominal fat.

Wesley Anne Brady, MD · Answer

The heat from the Trusculpt device used to destroy fat cells does not travel deep enough to have any effect on the lining of the uterus.

Timothy Abrahamson, MD · Answer

The TRUSCULPT ID uses monopolar radiofrequency to heat the deep fat.   The energy dissipates after leaving the fat.  The muscle layer of the abdomen is not heated and the uterus sits under this muscle.  Just out of principle, I would not recommend treatment if endometriosis is flairing...However, TRUSCULPT ID can be done once the endometriosis is controlled/not flairing.

Amrish Patel, MD · Answer

The trusculpt ID should not penetrate deep enough to impact your Uterus, unless you have NO lower abdominal fat, but in that case you wouldn't be looking to use the Trusculpt ID. So it will not affect your uterine lining and make you bleed.
