Balloon ablasion or hysteroscopic endometrial resection

Oh dear… I really feel for you…It is very awful when you’re forced to make such decision…But, I know that one study was taken to compare the clinical efficacy and safety of a thermal uterine balloon system with hysteroscopic endometrial resection and I really hope it will help you decide. I know that they treated app 150 women – half of them performed thermal balloon ablations and the other half endometrial resections. Doctors concluded that the operative time was reduced significantly with the uterine balloon technique. Also, there were no intra-operative complications in either group and the overall success rate did not differ too. So, they concluded that uterine balloon ablation appears to be as efficacious as endometrial resection but the former one is much easier to perform especially by those with limited expertise in hysteroscopic surgery, and thus more safer. Hope this helps!

I had the balloon ablasion done due to extreme menstrual flow and ovarian cysts developing. This was the best procedure i have ever had. With my history of ovarian cysts rupturing because of a heavy menstrual flow, this procedure took care of all my problems. I had this procedure done 6 years ago, and i have not had any problems since. Some places will do it in your dr.s office, others will schedule it out patient surgery. I went in for the procedure, and went home the next day.

I had the balloon therapy 9 months ago, and have not had ANY of the problems I had prior to the procedure. I had it done as outpatient, went home the same day, and was back to work 2 days later (of course I work a desk job). I felt great. At the same time, I also had a D & C, as well as a tubal ligation.

Hi I just had a Novasure endometrial Ablation for the same reason **** I am happy with the results im not bleeding at all. I wish you good luck on whatever you decide to do

HI EVERYONE
I JUST HAD THE GASTRIC BALLOON PROCEEDER ON MONDAY. THIS IS DAY THREE AND I AM OK. I HAVE LOST 6 POUNDS ,
IT WAS A PAINLESS PROCEEDER. I HAVE HAD NASUEA AND CRAMPING BUT THAT HAS SUBSIDED ALOT NOW ON DAY 3.

ADVISE IF YOU ARE ABLE TO STAY OVER THE FIRST NIGHT AND BE HOOKED UP TO IV OF SALINE SO YOU DO NOT GET DEHYDRATED.
I HAD THAT CHOOSE AND I CHOOSE TO GO HOME AFTER 2 HOURS AND DID SUFFER DEHYDRATION THE FIRST NIGHT HEADACHES NAUSUE WAS A LOT WORSE.

I DID NOTICE ON THE SECOND DAY THAT HAVING CHEWABLE ROLAIDS AND PEDIA-LITE REALLY HELPED.

I FOUND THAT I DID NOT WANT TO EAT AT ALL WHICH IS REALLY GREAT. I WAS TURSTY WOW THE DOCTOR TOLD ME TO TAKE SIPPES OF WATER GATORADE ETC.. I FOUND ON THE SECOND DAY THAT WHEN I ACTUALLY DRANK SMART WATER AND PEDIA LITE LIKE NORMAL I FELT A
LOT BETTER.
