Conditions

Health Condition 1: N949- Unspecified condition associated with female genital organs and menstrual cycle

Interventions

Intervention1: Radio frequency ablation: A radiofrequency ablation is a minimally invasive procedure that destroys the nerve fibers carrying pain signals to the brain. Radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of
2â??Hz frequency
20â??ms pulses in a one-second cycle, 120â??second duration per cycle
impedance range between 150 and 500 Ohms with 3 cycles and a 42°C plateau temperature � Inj bupivacaine 5ml and inj dexamethasone 2 mg will be injected the end of procedure to overcome ablation in
