Yiddishkeit7,
I recently posted a question on this forum regaring ablation for adeno.
Dr. von Almen answered and said ablation will stop the bleeding, and if
it helps the pain, it is an added bonus (paraphrasing here).
I am going to be going in for a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy
for the suspected adeno. I can no longer deal with the pain or the
bleeding!
Go through the archives and read about adeno..you'll find a lot of
helpful information.
Good luck!
