novasure ablation side effects

Had the nova sure procedure done in August of 2013 . Thankfully I have not had a period or any type of bleeding since the procedure, but I do experience major bloating and some cramping  at least 1 week out of each month. The worst side effect for me has been a ridiculous increase in weight, I have gained almost 40 pounds since July.  my mid section seems very bloated regularly. Not sure I would do it again . Can't seem to take the weight off either  

I had the novasure procedure done in August 2010 and about 6months after the procedure I felt like a buldging feeling so on one my visits i told my obgyn about it well they did an exam and i found out that my bladder and urethra was torn never felt it before nor did it come up before the novasure in pain and i too thought i was having appendiscitous it is frustrating and embarrasing im afraid sometimes to have intercourse with my husband not only is it painful at times i don't know if my bladder will buldg out the obgyn said if i suddenly urinate on myself come back thats nice.

I feel like i was reading some of my own life story. This surgery has made my life miserable. I pray for everyone suffering through this pain.-Bobbie

I had my procedure done 3 weeks ago.  My doctor told me that I had a large cervix and he didn't think it would work.  He was correct.  I have a very heavy period and cramping.  

The procedure itself was easy and I had almost no down time.  But it was very expensive with my deductible and in the end it didn't work.

I was disappointed because my physician did all these tests prior to the procedure and told me I was a perfect candidate.  Can't they tell that my cervix was to large to do the procedure?  Just so frustrated.

 

I want to join! The pain is killing meeeeeee, my pelvis is killing me I feel like I'm in labor! I need helpppppp

I had the nova sure done about 3 or 4 years ago. Worst mistake ever. I stopped bleeding for alittle bit but I started bleeding again. It hurts so bad the cramps radiate down to my knee. I have a smelly discharge that smells like something died. I have to wear pads everyday because I spot every day until my period comes. I hate I had this done because I feel gross. The also say people that het nova sure get BV a lot maybe that's the smell.I don't Like to feel like im not clean. I don't let people get to close because I fear they will smell me. Don't think I'll ever have a normal sex life because it smells.Is there anyone with the same symptoms please reply I feel so alone.

My name is Summer. I had NovaSure done December 13 2011. I had my daughter in June of that year (csection) and couldn't stop bleeding. So after the novasure I had the runny discharge but no bleeding and I was so excited. After 4 weeks, I started my period. It lasted the full 7-8 days and about a week of brown discharge after. Then I started bleeding 2 weeks out of the month and the third week I would have a bacterial infection. Every month. So I told my Dr and he tried progesterone pills to try and thin my uterine lining. It didn't work. I had severe pain to the point where i couldnt even go to the store. I was 27 and I had to have a hysterectomy. All the infections caused from the Nova sure had developed scar tissue in my abdominal cavity that was like a big web inside. My bladder was actually twisted and sitting ON TOP of my uterus. I went under thinking I was only losing my uterus. I woke up in a nightmare. I had to lose everything because the scar tissue was so bad. It took him 4.5 hrs to do a 2 hr surgery. I have went through hell adjusting to the hormone changes and the depression and weight gain. I just want some compensation for medical bills and meds and suffering. I will never be myself again. Please contact me if you need to ask any questions.

I had the procedure done in 2007.  All was well until about a year ago.  Now, I have some type of discharge constantly, and my doctor told me I have post ablation syndrome.  It has progressively gotten worse and it's to the point where the cramps are so painful, I can't manage them with medication.  It's 1:00 a.m.And I'm in horrible pain right now.  The ultrasound I recently had showed scarring and an ovarian cyst.  The progesterone I was given to control the bleeding seems to make it worse.  I think a hysterectomy is my last option now.  Novasure should be removed from the market immediately.  

I saw a brochure on the NovaSure procedure at the gyno. Office. It sounded great and I was really considering having it done!I believe all these stories have convinced me not to! I should have know the body would not take kindly to this type of interference. SIGH...I was hopeful for an end to my long,heavy,messy periods. Oh well.

I appreciate your post. Thank you!

There should be some research about the side effects of ablation.  I wish that I never had it done.  Irreversible weight gain is not worth it. I am tired of hearing doctors say the weight gain is unrelateed.  A quick look online has voluminous complaints about the weight gain.  I am surprised the procedure is still prescribed.

I had the procedure a yr and half ago. Recently in the last 4 months i started to experience labor pains during the time of my period. 2 - 3 days on pain killers and usually out of work for a day. They also mentioned endometriosis which i too find hard to believe. I never had any pain prior to this surgery. The pain i experience is unbearable, I delivered 3 children without any pain killers, meanwhile this pain is like they are tearing something from inside me. My Dr. is still running test, 2 vaginal ultrasounds, antibiotics, and blood work.

I am experiencing severe pain after 1 yr 1/2 after the procedure.

Extremely unhappy with the Novasure results, please contact me.

Please let me know what you found out about a class action suit because I have been going through all of the same things but worse for the last three years! I am scared to get a hysterectomy because that comes with its own set of issues but if I would have know I would be this sick I would have never considered this horrible procedure!
