Severe blood loss from dysfunctional uterine bleeding may be refractory to medical therapy and hysterectomy the only option. In two young women with severe bleeding where medical measures were ineffective and hysterectomy was a hazardous option, we performed a transcervical endometrial resection. In both of them the bleeding stopped immediately and no further treatment was required for dysfunctional uterine bleeding. They have had amenorrhea now for over six months. Transcervical endometrial resection is an option when hysterectomy is hazardous and the bleeding is refractory to medical treatment.
