[quote=Anonymous]I had an ablation in Nov 2010, and I had cramping/pain starting in late 2012. Because my insurance changed at the beginning of 2013, I continued to suffer it and assume it was cysts like I'd had before (it was somewhat cyclical pain). I tried to exercise more since that seemed to help with most cycle-related problems before, but exercise made it much worse. It got so bad over the summer that I couldn't take it anymore. I had an ultrasound that revealed hematometra and closed cervix, and I had the draining procedure (D&C) around Labor Day 2013. It seemed to help, but the pain and cramps have started coming back again less than a year later. I'm going to go back to my gyn to get an ultrasound order, but I'm NOT going to keep doing a D&C every time this happens - that's about a $3K procedure by the time you consider facility, anesthesia, and gyn surgeon. With a $1500 deductible and 20% coinsurance, that's a pricey annual procedure! I'm going to have to do a partial hysterectomy to make it stop. I have two kids (14 and 10) and don't plan to have anymore, but the side effects of hysterectomy freak me out too!

Yes, apparently this is a known risk from ablation (34% I think I read), but it is lumped in with all those general risks of surgery and anesthesia (and dr perforating uterus) so I didn't really think it would happen to me. Or I thought the benefits outweighed the risks. I had been on depo-provera but needed to get off the hormones that were helping control the bleeding before. [/quote]
