Post-Endometral Ablation Question

Hi Ladies,
I hade a EA useing the Nuvasure method on March 3rd, 08. I am still experanceing spotting, wattery discharge, and chronic fatigue. Do you know how long this lasts.

I didn't end up having this done but when my Dr. & I were thinking of going this route, she said I could still have a discharge for up to 6 weeks.

I had this done last Fall in a last ditch effort to avoid the hysterectomy... and afterward, I spotted for several weeks. I finally had a period and then, I didn't have anything but maybe a couple of spots each month for FOUR glorious months... I did, however, have some cramping... Sadly, right after the first of the year, I started bleeding and haven't stopped since. We knew going in that this may very well be my end result... Best wishes, you'll feel better soon...

Hi Keldriv

I had a different type of ablation (rollerball), but as mentioned, the watery discharge can last a long time. I think it was at least 6 weeks before I could go without a pantyliner. Whenever I'd get a little discouraged, I just had to remind myself how it was better than the way I had been ... flooding through double protection.

My anemia improved, so I didn't have any increase in fatigue. I am sorry that you are, though. I hope it resolves soon.

Hang in there. There's no way to rush the healing process.

i had one done feb 07, and it lasted about 6 weeks off and on, my first couple periods after that were WONDERFUL, then about 7 mkonths out, they got bad again.
My Doc told me the younger you are the less effective it might be (i dont want to sound discouraging)

Hi ladies,
I know that most of you said that it lasted on and off. Mine is nonstop. I have been spotting everyday for 3 weeks. I wish it would stop. I have been bleeding now for eight months, counting before and after the EA.

Mine was constant. The destroyed lining sort of does some sloughing and some "weeping" as it progresses through the stages. Mine did different color changes throughout the 6 weeks also. It doesn't sound like you are experiencing anything abnormal, but call your GYN if you feel like this isn't what s/he told you to expect. In the meantime, do something special for yourself. You deserve some pampering.

I had mine done 15 years ago (when I was 32) and I remember I had spotting and abdominal pain for about 6 weeks. I was surprised how painful it was afterwards! (I had the burning of the uterine lining kind of EA).

For about 10 years it was ggreat and I had no spotting. Then spotting came back. Now I have super-sized fibroids (I thought EA would have taken care of that but no such luck). I now have to have a hysterectormy and at 47 I am ready for it. I hate being in pain and I can't exercise like I used to.

Good luck, you'll definitely be better in a few weeks.

Hi Ladies,
Thanks for the info. I finally stopped bleeding 3 days ago. I thought that was gonna be it for a while... Boy was I wrong. I started some hevy bleeding today. I have been passing clots. I also have been suffering form a terrible migrane. I hope this will end soon.
