I had an uterine ablation last May when I had a lap. My doc made it quite clear it is not a solution for pain. However, if you are having out of control bleeding it can help with that. It did help me with not as several cramping during that time of the cycle but I still have my endo pain throughout the month. Additionally, I have just recently starting having some bleeding again. They think that it is because of having adenomyosis. However, all in all I am glad that I had it. t Thu, 17 May 2007, andrea wrote: >
