Novasure Endometrial Ablation and SEVERE abdominal pain with weight gain

I had the novasure procedure done nov 2016. I haven’t had a period since. I get a little cramping when it’s due to be that time of the month but that’s it. So much better off compared to what I went through before the procedure

I had novasure ablatiom about two months ago now. I feel I’m on my second “cycle” since my surgery. Barely any blood comes out but I look pregnant and the pain in my lower back is so bad that I can’t take it. I can’t live like this. The Drs think I’m crazy. Debilitating low back pain and I can’t work, enjoy my kids, even 10 mg of Percocet and 300mg of gabapoenin and 600mg of Motrin all together barely touch the 9/10 ,10/10 pain!

I HATE YOU PRODUCT NOW AFTER 5 months of HEAVY PAIN AND SUFFERING I MUST GO FOR A FULL HISTOREKTOMIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you ever recover? I had novasure 2 years ago n I’m having bowel problems for last 6 months. Lost weight n afraid to eat as well.

No in my opinion. If I had to do it again I would not. I would have hysterectomy

Did you ever recover? I have same symptoms

Did you have hysterectomy? Is the pain gone?

Yes ibhad ablation in 2014 an have had the same pain now since September. Its worse then labor and no pain meds work. All test come back normal.

I am suffering the same thing.

I had all of these symptoms before my ablation which I’ve just had today.
I’m praying that it takes them away as that was my main reason for having the procedure.

Hello Ladies......It will be 20 years this December for me and I had the Novasure ablation which was a new way of doing ablations and the day I had it done, a Representative for the company was there to help my OB/Gyn. Now that was embarrassing to say the least, a total stranger? Anyway, the procedure doesn't take long at all but after, I had really bad cramps. I was given a Lortab and 800 mg. Motrin in the recovery area but it hardly did a thing. After getting home the cramps were so bad I was crying which even upset my dog who jumped onto the bed to be with me...she was so sweet. I had those cramps for about 4 hours and then they slowly stopped...thank the Lord. I slowly recovered within a week and when I had my follow up visit with my doctor he said everything went well and did I have any questions. Since I was feeling ok I couldn't think of anything to ask him. All I can say is this, I was 50 when I had my ablation. I had been struggling with long, heavy periods for 3-4 years. Before my ablation when I'd have my period, I couldn't even leave the house. I was using Super tampons and pads every 20 minutes. At one point the bleeding was so bad I had my husband take me to the ER. They took some blood and gave me an IV with normal saline and was told I was a bit anemic and to get in touch with my OB?GYN. Not much help there. Anyway, before the ablation my doctor ordered me to have a D&C which I had in November along with a trans-vaginal ultrasound. The ultrasound found that I had an area inside my uterus that was thicker than normal and most likely the cause of the heavy bleeding. The D&C would also help to diagnose whether I had uterine cancer or not, which fortunately wasn't found. I think the D&C was worse than the ablation as it took me 2 weeks to start feeling normal again and not feel like my insides were going to fall out. I was pale and couldn't even stand up straight. Well, as I said, it is going on 20 years but I will say this, had I not had this procedure, I don't know how I would have survived.....since I had become anemic, had no life, couldn't visit my daughter or grandkids, that was no way to live for anyone. I do seem to have moments where I feel I am having some menstrual cramps but not bad enough to keep me from functioning or having to take any medication. Not sure what that is about. It was a lifesaver for me. Ladies, ask questions get informed before deciding what is best for you. I do think having had the D&C the month before the ablation helped as I never had another period. Also, I think my age helped too because I had only another 2 years and I was told I was post menopausal. I remember being told about two of my aunts who suffered terrible periods before they too were post menopausal....so must be a genetic thing. We as women seem to endure so much during our lifetimes and yet we outlive men.....go figure. Now I am a widow and 68 but I do my best to keep going. I hope anyone considering this procedure will be well informed and have success if they go forward. God bless.

I had the oblation done about 10/11 years ago. Periods had stopped. But the pain for two years now. Lower back and pelvic pain. I have PCOS, I'm tired all the time I'm in pain. I know I take more over the counter meds then I ever did on my periods. And trust me they where so..so..bad. the drs said I was lucky to have the two kids I got. Now have to wait till March to see GYN. I do not recommend having this done.
