I'm 34 years old. I had my uterus burnt out 3 years ago because my periods were so heavy I was filling up the ultra absorbency tampons every 25-30 minutes. The uterine ablation put a stop to my periods, because they were so bad. I have no chance of being pregnant (ablation plus tubes were tied and burnt as well). I've had cramps off and on this week and today they've become a lot worse. I'm also having brown discharge with what looks like little bits of tissue. I wouldn't think it could be due to shedding the lining of my uterus because its no longer there. Any one else ever had this, or possible causes? I don't want to go to the doctor if I don't have to due to lack of insurance. Do I have reason to be concerned or is this normal? It's the first time this has happened in 3 yrs.
