It also causes depression, fatigue and a few others. I'm making an appt to see my dr because I can see it starting to really effect my marriage. My husband has also been supportive because I have severe back problems and that doesn't help any of this either. But the more research I've done is showing me that the ablation could also be causing hormonal problems and dryness. It's very embarrassing to tell my husband. I mean what do you say, Its me not you, sounds like a break up line from high school, right?
I had my ablation at 35 and 5 years later I've found my libido to be down, dryness, depression and fatigue. I think it has lowered my hormones. I've done research and have found that the ablation can contribute to the symptoms we are having. My husband is also very supportive. I have severe back issues that have left me in pain 24/7 but between the both it is starting to wear on our relationship. I'm going to schedule an appt to have all tests run to find out all the answers. Have you had any tests done since your request post? If so what have you found out. I'd love to hear. I will post what my dr says when I get results. Jennifer
I had our daughter July 2017 had my tubes tied with the Csection that day. Slowly my orgasms got more intense and my sex drive went up a very little. I then had an ablation done due to extremely heavy periods in January of 2019 this year. Since then - i had a little discomfort the first couple weeks. I was very nervous about my husband going deep. That got better. IN FACT i went from hardly no sex drive and semi good orgams to INTENSE seriously INTENSE orgasms and my sex drive is actually increasing. I am not sure which it was because of. I read that many women say its due to the fact of not stressing about getting pregnant. But we were fine with getting pregnant again and it was hard for my husband to have kids so we never used anything to prevent. So i disagree about it being a mental thing for the increase. I can't seem to explain it myself. It literally doesn't matter oral or intercourse MIND BLOWING orgasms. We've been together 10 years. NO words... still trying to wrap my head around it. In fact some of the symptoms of Post Ablation Syndrome listed when you research it - I had many of those. Dryness, discomfort, pain, itching without infections. Docs checked... Now no dryness, no pain. I can't explain it but somethings changed. I am thankful for it. Its changed my confidence in myself. So sorry to read so many who are having problems after.
I had Breast cancer in 2010. Had a Lumpectomy . They didn’t remove it all and had to go back in 3 weeks later. In the mean time , My Cancer Dr. Was getting my treatments together . I couldn’t take Tomoxaphin because I was on blood thinners. I had been having probs with my left ovary. I went to one Dr and he said it’s not my ovary’s because they were dried up! So he done the ablasion . So a few weeks later. One Dr was working on my hooter , and the gyno was working on my cooter at the same time. I had to laugh to keep from crying . I was 51. They were giving my breast time to heal , so they waited on radiation . About 4 weeks later me and my husband tried to have sex. It felt like I was being burned with a lighter. Of course my husband stopped . And stopped again the next time. The Dr who done it retired a few weeks later. I had no explaining of what they were going to do or my options. A few months later I had to have my ovaries removed in order to take the 5 yr chemo pill . ( But ended up taking it for 7 yrs. ) My left ovary that hurt so bad was so swollen and infected. The new gyno said it would have killed me if it ruptured. And I had 1000s of eggs in the right one. That Dr who done the ablasion changed everything about my life! Me and hubby tried a few more times and I couldn’t bear the pain and he didn’t want to hurt me. Lubes etc didn’t help. We have been married 28 yrs. But we don’t play around and even say the silly dirty things about stuff etc anymore. We seldom even kiss because I’m afraid of letting him down . I wish I could turn back time and kick that Dr in the ass so he couldn’t destroy me. I would never recommend this to anyone. It was my swollen Ovary , I didn’t even need the ablasion . I’m a cancer survivor But the sec didn’t survive. I wish I had my lining back .
