what to expect 6 months after endometrial ablasion surgery

I dont know how this works, but here goes..... I had rollerball ablasion surgery on October of 2005, and so far I have had no period, but for a week I have been having pain such as the pain I had before the surgery. It is almost like my body is trying to have a period and it is just constant. Is this normal?

It is normal that you are not having any periods, you may not even get any more periods after ablation. My sister also had ablation done because of heavy periods, after her second pregnancy and she did have some light periods at first but gradually they disappeared. Her doctor said that was ok. She didn’t have any additional symptoms.

This probably doesn’t mean that you are not ovulating because you have your ovaries and their function is not impaired by endometrial (uterine lining) removal.

The pain you are experiencing could mimic the pain you experienced before but it could indicate something else as well.
I reckon you should visit a gynecologist and have it checked i.e check if there were an underlying condition that could be causing the pain. This is the best and the only way to determine what could be causing your pain.

I did alot of research on this also and there was a similiar question another lady posted and she was asked by another post member if she got a tubal litugation before she got endometrial ablation.....? Sure enough, she was still having her cycle but was being block by her tubes that were tied....anyhow it's worth looking into this...it cause this woman monthly pains......it only started to happen several months later after her ablation.....

Hope it helps...!

I just had endometrioses removed on the 12/2/2007 and there was some small bleeding, which I was told about. But now the bleeding is very heavy, and there is some slight pain in the adomanal area, is this normal after surgery.

I had the Novasure procedure done 25 days ago and had my last period a week prior to the surgery so it is time for my next cycle. I felt crampy and my back hurt yesterday just like I was about to start my period and today I feel worse. I feel like something inside my abdomen is being torn away from where it is attached. My whole stomach area from just under my breasts all the way to my vagina hurts inside and is very, very tender to the touch. I have not bled any but this feels as bad as my periods were before, just no blood yet. I feel like the dam is going to break any second now. I feel like if I did start bleeding, it would be some relief (like going #2 when you have been holding it for a long time). Anyone else feel this way after your surgery?

I had the novasure procedure done 2 weeks ogo and was due a period the day i had it done.Surgery went fine but today i feel as though my body is trying to have a period and cant ,still losing watery blood but have the same severe pain i had started out with. Sorry i have no patients but if im going to have a period without the blood what was the point! The pain i was having was like being in labor. I was led to believe if you take away the bleeding you take away the pain?Pain is still here so i suppose i will have to wait and see.
