I was 21 when i had the ablation done, every month the pain grows worse. The stabbing, sharp pain in my lower abdomen i have experienced. My original cycle was 9 days, after the ablation spotting, 4 years later i'm up to 5 days again. The problem ladies with the ablation is your doctor probably didn't tell you is your lining of your uterus CAN grow back, yes u heard me right.Can repair it's self. Having the ablation done is man made not normal to the body, the body can repair what has been damaged. ?
