LSH after Novasure

Hello, I am new to this but heres my story...One year ago I had the novasure procedure done for heavy bleeding and all worked well until the last few months I have been getting bad pains in left then right side, major bloating and a little spotting. I am scheduled for a LSH on 09/24/09 .... I was wondering is it worth having the LSH even though the pains are not unbearable.... I am 34 and plan on no other children so I am thinking if I don't need it take it out....but I don't want to cause worse problems in the furture just because I feel this way. I read all the great stories and dont hear to many bad so I just want to make sure I am doing the right thing ....thanks for any info ....

Have you had an ultrasound ? The reason why i ask is that i had Novasure 1/07 and exactly one yr later started with irregular periods, bloating and cramping. Ifinally went to new OBGYN 1/08, by that timer my lower pelvic pain was getting really intense all month long. She said i had adenomyosis which end up being true but she ordered an ultrasound which showed a 9 cm degenerating fibroid. Post op i found out that was filled with old brown blood.

My pain was very intense so i had the LSH. if your pain is bearable i would make sure i get an US and also get more opinions. I would have never have done this surgery unless i had too. Even if you keep your ovaries there is no guarantee they are going to work and not fail. Even the slightest drop in estrogen can cause vaginal and bladder problems. You are only 34. That's very young to be dealing with hormonal problems.

Just my 2 cents hope it helps

LSH 3/13/09 kept ovaries and cervix

yes I had an ultrasound and the dr found small fibroids. I guess I have just heard all the bad about the novasure with the old brown blood being trapped that I think that has made me think more about the LSH. not sure if thats the case or not with me...did they find that during your LSH or before your surgery?

my fibroid was filled with old brown blood. It is a very rare
type of degeneration that happens mostly only in pregnancy. I knew i had a fibroid but didn't know what it was filled with until after surgery. I even have pictures !!!
My post op pathology also said adenomyosis. I kept my ovaries and my estrogen is still dropping like a stone. So now i deal with vaginal dryness (a new kind of pain), yeast infections and bladder urgency ,frequency, not sleeping well, sweating. I do vaginal estrogen but its not helping 100%. I see my Dr. again in Oct. we'll see what she recommends. if you read through the posts you will see alot of people end up trading one set of problems for another.
