Have you had the endometrial ablation called NovaSure done? Pros? Cons? How old were you? What was your experience? My doctor recommends me to have this procedures but I am nervous. Thanks.
I had it done when I was 40 and it was great. I had spotting for the next cycle after the procedure and have never had a period since. I took a nap after I got home and I had no other issues to deal with. Great experience and I would recommend it.
Do a search on this. This gets asked ALL the time.
I had it done and would do it again in a HEARBEAT!
Next to zero downtime and it does WONDERS for you! I basically slept it off when I got back from the hospital.
I am having it done tomorrow. I am 45 years old and cannot take the heavy periods anymore. I am a little nervous but have talked to several others who have had it done. Really seems like no big deal. I think I am more nervous about the pills I have to take before. One is Vicodin. I have never taken it and not sure how it will make me feel. I did have to have a uteren biospy a couple of weeks ago and that was not bad at all. Doctor said if I didn't have any problems with that, the ablation would be a breeze. If you want I can let you know Saturday how it went. They said I would probably sleep most of the day Friday after I have it done.
Had it done in Feb. 2010. I was 35y.
It saved my life! I wasn't lucky enough to not have cycles after, but the ones I do have are no where near as intense as before. Before I was going through a Overnight pad and Overnight tampon every 20m for the first 3 days. Dr. says I could've bled to death. Now I use 3-4 pads a day. No more tampons.
Cons: there is an unpleasant smell for a few days after
The cramps are intense, but ease with time
There is a video on the website that sealed the deal for me.
