Cryo ablation is akin to burning the lining of the Uterus. A burn takes
some time to heal. Usually two to three weeks. What you describe is
normal but if you had an office procedure your Doctor should be abel to
comfort you by answering your questions.

Hysterectomy is not s msndstedf procedure for this condition. Yes there is an increased risk of endometrial cancer but I would suggest a thorough curettage and if the tissue is not atypical I would use megace for three months and then repeat the evaluation. I have treated many women for this condition in this manner and have never been sorry.
