Endometrial ablation is a medical procedure that removes the lining of the uterus, called the endometrium. If your periods are very heavy or last too long, your health care provider may prescribe medications that will cause you to have a lighter period.bout 9 of 10 women have lighter periods or no period after endometrial ablation.
