endometrial ablation (ladies) UPDATE

[Bertiebear]

Anyone had this? My periods are horrific. Had internal scans last year all was normal. I’ve tried the coil which didn’t work and anything with a slight hormone in sends me loopy! I’m going to make an appointment and she if I can discuss it as an option. However I do understand it doesn’t work for everyone. I’m 41 and have two children. We aren’t planning on anymore so that side of things is fine. I’m so miserable. I normally go every 23 days on average but this month I’ve gone 29 but it’s hell. I was dreading the school run earlier as I just flood through everything and feel like I’m going into early labour.

Endo is caused by hormones.
Hormones are produced by eggs.
Remvoing bpth egg sacks stops endo

I’m having one on the 26th of this month for the same reason. They want to put in a mirena coil as well but I’m hesitant as any hormone sends me loopy too.

The other alternative they offered was a hysterectomy but thought I’d try the ablation first.

I had it a few years ago. My periods were horrific and I ended up with anemia. I had tried the mirena coil but that made little difference. It took a few months but then they went much lighter and more controllable.
The op itself was straightforward and I was fine after a couple of days but I had the week off work booked anyway.

Really do hope it works for you. I’m in the same train of thought try that first if the GP will refer me.
