endometrial ablation and endometriosis From: Wendy (anonymous@obgyn.net) Tue, 28 Dec 1999 08:28:59 -0600 (CST) Messages sorted by: [ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ] Next message: Gina: "Question for Dr. M, Pain & FMS" Previous message: anxious: "Myomectomy next week!

McIntosh, MD: "Re: endometrial ablation and endometriosis" I've recently been diagnosed with endometriosis after a year and a half of painful periods with heavy bleeding and excruciating bowel movements. I've been doing a lot of research over the past several weeks and am familiar with the common surgical treatments. In January I am scheduled to have a laperoscopy, a D&C, and a procedure called endometrial ablation. Has anyone ever heard of an endometrial ablation as a treatment for endometriosis? In all my reading, I have not come across this and wonder if I should reconsider this part of the surgery. As I understand it, the procedure destroys the lining of the uterus. Aside from sterility (I have two children so this is not an issue for me), I am also wondering what long-term side effects there may be. Thank you!
