To evaluate the effectiveness of tricholoro acetic acid (TCA) instillation in uterine cavity for the treatment of dysfunctional uterine bleeding. In this study, 50 patients with the complaints of irregular menstrual bleeding and without any organic cause were taken into consideration. After individually calculating the volume of TCA, it was instilled into the uterine cavity for chemically ablating the endometrium. After a follow-up of 1-3 months, out of 50 patients, 40% reported hypomenorrhoea and 8% reported amenorrhoea in contrast to 52% patients who complained of persistent symptoms. The study suggested that endometrial ablation with TCA is an efficient, well tolerated, quick and easily applied method with no specific side effects. However, to be used on regular basis, this method requires more randomised controlled trials.
