Endometrial Ablation
-
While I haven’t personally done it, a friend has. It wasn’t a super easy procedure to line up, like she had to really advocate that she wanted it. And it wasn’t just bc she was done having kids / didn’t want a period, but her’s was very painful and she had other symptoms that went along with it. The overall procedure and recovery was very painful, to put it bluntly. But it healed quick and that was that. Once it was over, there was nothing else, like no extended recovery or stitches or anything to tend to. She’s very glad she did it.

I just had an endometrial ablation last week and it was painful for a couple days but it's feeling fine now. I chose to get this procedure done because I was suffering from debilitating cramps, irregular cycles, extremely heavy flow and blood clots. I also had a condition where my endometrial lining was growing into my uterine wall. I am done having children and I'm very happy this was an option!
