Hello. I'm 35 year old female and I'm having some big problems with my excessive menstrual bleeding.
I talked with my doctor and he told me that it is sometimes completely normal to have these kinds of problems and that this shouldn’t worry me. I have also heard about some endometrial ablation surgery that should supposedly relieve my symptoms. As I heard- you can't have kids after it.
I have two beautiful kids and I'm not planning to have any more kids. But anyway, I would like to hear more about it and possible risks and complications. Is the operation really worth it!
Hello. I'm 39 year old female and I've had this operation few months back. I've asked my doctor all about it and that’s why I'm familial with the risks you're interested about.
From what has my doctor told me- complications of endometrial ablation are very rare and that I shouldn’t be worried about them.
If I understood right- they occur usually due to difficulty entering into the uterus through the vaginal canal.
That’s how the most common complications are bleeding, infection, perforation of the uterine wall or bowel and overloading of fluid into the bloodstream. I hope this helped you to understand better this.
