There are many factors that are not known in your particular case: are there fibroids present? is your uterus enlarged? did you have a course of lupron therapy (to thin the endometrial lining) prior to the procedures? The method of endometrial ablation using hysteroscopic instrumentation, I feel remains far superior to the balloon method. ob/gyn,m.d.
