You don't say what the problem was diagnosed as but be that as it may,
presuming a normal endometrium, a normal endometrial biopsy and normal
bleeding factors, ablation is a way to go for heavy periods. If the
uterus is too big for balloon ablation, you may wish to discuss with you
doctor rollerball ablation. also, if the uterus is "too big", are there
fibroids that are causing a problem? this should be discussed with your
doctor as well.
Hope this helps and write back anytime for more information.
