HYSTERECTOMY: Hysterectomy vs AblationFrom: Jenn (anonymous@obgyn.net)Mon, 24 Dec 2007 15:54:43 -0600 (CST)
I am having trouble deciding between the two.... Here is some history: I am 30 years old. My first pregnancy resulted in an emergency c-section at 27 wks, 4 days because of preeclampsia. I had been hospitalized on bedrest at 24 weeks. When I got pregnant the second time, blood work was done and I found out that I have Type II Thrombophilia ~ gave myself Lovenox injections every day for the entire pregnancy ~ delivered via c-section at 37 weeks. Mirena inserted 2/2004. Removed in Nov 2006 ~ endomitritis. Cannot take any BC that has a chance of blood clots so I opted for the Depo shot until my obgyn could get certified for the Implanon. Called dr after three months and he was still not certified. Switched drs. Decided on a tubal ligation (4/2007). Since then I have had irregular periods with heavy bleeding, blood clots, and severe pain (I have been taking the pain meds left over from my TL). Went back to dr a week ago and had a biopsy done (OUCH) ~ biopsy came back showing nothing wrong. My options are very limited because of my thromophilia. My dr suggested an ablation which probably won't take care of my pain or a hysterectomy which would take care of the pain and bleeding. I am leaning towards the hysterectomy.....any thoughts?
