My doctor did an ablation 6 years ago because of heavy bleeding. He only ablated the cervix area so blood collects in my uterus needs to be drained by preforming a d&c. Last month I could not have the blood drained due to too much scar tissue. I am having a hysterectomy in a few weeks. I wish I had know about the side effects of ablation. I would not have agreed to have it done.
