Having an Endometrial Ablation

Next week I go in for a sonohysterogram and endometrial biopsy, I  had a sonohysterogram  last year for polyps and a fibroid tumor in preparation for a DNC. This time they are going to do an endometrial ablation, (reading the brochure I think it is the NovaSure ablation) because I have a never ending period ( I have had one for the last 5-6 weeks).  My question is has anyone had an ablation before?  I am curious of how it turned out. If anyone can tell me how it is I would really all the information I can get.


 


Thanks again

I remember the cramping that went along with the sonohysterogram.

I would also like to hear others' results and reaction to this procedure.

Well I went for my sono today, they found a large cyst on my left ovary and 2 small ones on my right ovary. The doc said he is just going to keep an eye on them but on Thursday I have a D & C and an ablation.

It's called Betadine (a form of Iodine) and yes you may be having an allergic reaction to it--very common. Are you allergic to shellfish? I would call the docs office and ask them what to use for the itching. They most likely deal with this question all the time.
