Brief Summary

Menometrorrhagia is the first cause of consultation in gynecology. Etiology of menometrorrhagia is varied, but in majority of cases no underlying pathology is found, they are said functional idiopathic menometrorrhagia .

In case of failure of medical treatment, for women who do not wish to preserve reproduction possibilities, a surgical treatment by endometrectomy (destruction of the uterine endometrial epithelial) can be proposed. Currently, a new system, Lina LibrataTM is available on the market. This system allows destructing endometrial membrane with a balloon which offer several advantages compared to present used system. Specially, it does not require dilatation of uterus's cervix and it reduces the pain. The investigator make hypothesis that the use of the system Lina LibrataTM does not cause pain and can be thus used under local anesthetic in ambulatory surgery. With the aim of developing ambulatory care, the main objective of this prospective monocentric study is to estimate the efficiency of Lina LibrataTM system in the treatment of functional idiopathic menometrorrhagia. Secondary objectives are to estimate the pain during the procedure, the rate of per and post-complications and quality of life.

hemoglobin measured by blood test

measure of quality of lifeat month 6

assessed by the questionnaire SF-12 (abridged version of the Medical Outcomes Study Short-Form General Health Survey SF-36). It allows to obtain 2 scores: mental and social score (from 5.89058 to 71.966825) and physical score (from 9.94738 to 70.02246). The average of this scores in the general population is 50.
