Uterus Ablation

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
New Jersey, NJ

Hi everyone,

Has anyone here had an ablation due to pain? My ob gyn has recommended it for me for my pain level and heavy bleeding. I am 27 and already have my tubes tied.

I was wondering has anyone felt this is beneficial for them in terms of pain? Recently after the birth of my 2nd child I've not only been dealing with severe fibro pain, but i was diagnosed with epilepsy and its not well controlled at the moment. I have a pitituatry tumor as well and i just feel if i can remove some… read more

I had severely painful periods (vomiting and passing out!) and to say they were heavy was an understand. Then I had a period that lasted from September 2017 to January 2018. I had the ablation and for exactly one month everything was perfect. But on the 30th day, the pain and flow returned with a vengeance. I had to have a partial hysterectomy. My insurance required the ablation first. The partial hysterectomy was the best thing to happen!

you had questioned possibly getting an ablation for pain.
What kind of pain are you having ? And where is the pain located? Do you feel the pain is from your Fibro ? Or from your period?

@A MyFibroTeam Member I had an ablation about 20 years ago. My OBGYN recommended it to me due to severe pain & excessive bleeding. Having this procedure was the perfect decision for me & I have never regretted it. It was an out patient procedure at the hospital. There was very little discomfort after the procedure. For the first 3 or 4 months I had a very short & very light 1 to 2 day period. They eventually stopped completely.

I hope this information helps.
Gentle hugs,

@A MyFibroTeam Member It was an outpatient procedure. In an out in an hour and a half. They actually did it in a surgical suite at my OB/GYN's office. I hope you find relief.

@A MyFibroTeam Member wow Vera was there any answer for you to why you were bleeding? I am doing some extensive hormone testing at the moment because i do have a pituitary tumor. If everything comes back normal blood work wise. I think ill consider it. I kinda think i have endometriosis. Of course its not able to be truly diagnosed until you are opened up. I've also had serve GI issues of unknown cause since my daughters birth. I had a C section. I have a feeling there is allot of scarring etc
