I had this done several years ago, and even though it didn't stop my periods entirely, they've never been anywhere near what they used to be........I used to go through 2 super-plus tampons, an extra-thick Kotex, and a Depends in an hour sometimes, for days at a time. Of course, I'm nearing menopause and my periods have become extremely irregular anyway, and I'll even go several months without one. But even when I do have them, the worst days require only one tampon and one pad at a time.
I'm very glad I had the ablation done, although I would have had a hysterectomy if my insurance company at that time hadn't denied payment.......guess they didn't think I'd suffered enough, even though my H&H were 9.1 and 26, I felt terrible all the time, and I often missed work because I couldn't get off the toilet for hours at a time!
I didn't see the need to keep my uterus, I was 43 and certainly done with childbearing, and I've been menstruating since I was barely 11, so I would've been GLAD to be rid of everything. Now I've got masses on my ovary and adnexae, and I wish more than ever that I'd been able to have the hyst, but that's a story for another day..........I definitely recommend this procedure, however, because it does help a lot, and the recovery time is very short (I had it done on a Tuesday afternoon, and was back at work the next Monday morning).
Would you like to comment?
