Remember that ablation is 80% success in women over 40 and 60% success in women under 40. Success is better periods or no periods. This means that after some time, ablations may stop working as the little islands of missed endometrium regrow. You need evaluation and then further therapy. Hope this helps...Dr. von Almen
