Acessa Health Inc. Launches Comprehensive Fibroid Management Website


Acessa Health Inc., developer of the Acessa System®, an innovative laparoscopic radiofrequency ablation procedure for the treatment of uterine fibroids, has launched a comprehensive website for fibroid management. The interactive site, AcessaProcedure.com, offers women and physicians a broad range of information about uterine fibroids and treatment options. Consistent with Acessa Health's mission of advancing minimally invasive, uterine-sparing solutions for the treatment of symptomatic fibroids, AcessaProcedure.com is designed to educate and empower women who seek to end their suffering from uterine fibroids without major surgery.

"Our team is driven to help women better understand all available treatment options, especially those that are uterine-sparing such as the Acessa procedure," said Kim Bridges Rodriguez, chief executive officer of Acessa Health. "With the newly relaunched AcessaProcedure.com website, we seek to continue increasing awareness and education while connecting patients with physicians who are redefining the standard of care in fibroid management."

According to the Women's Health Journal, women with symptomatic fibroids wait, on average, more than 3.6 years before seeking treatment, mainly due to fear of surgery and time away from life.1 The Acessa procedure offers a safe, effective, and minimally invasive treatment option. Acessa can treat almost all sizes and locations of fibroids and requires no cutting or suturing of uterine tissue. Patients typically go home the same day, experience minimal discomfort and a rapid return to normal activities. More than 2,000 women have been successfully treated with the Acessa System.

The new Acessa Health website includes a broad spectrum of information and tools to help patients and healthcare providers learn more about fibroids. For patients, key features of the site include:
