Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I just found out I have a uterine polyp. My doctor wants to remove and then do Endometrial ablation for my heavy bleeding. what info do you have on this procedure? Is it necessary and any after effects? Any info and help will be greatly appreciated. I am 43 years old and went in to see my doctor because I was bleeding for a month! First time ever. Usually like clockwork.

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I just had this procedure done in May...the only after effects is very little pain and very little bleeding! I reccomend it HIGHLY! It's great for the heavy bleeding and pain if you have to deal with that...no scarrring, really...I had some more procedures done other than the ablation..so I have a couple of really TINY scars...hardly noticeable....again, a great procedure and I think it will do wonders for your case!

Guest guest Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 I am curious too! i've been in the same situation for the past couple of years, with a polyp too. cryo ablation was suggested to remove the polyp and decrease the heavy periods. unfortunately, i changed insurance companies, and had to drop my Ob/Gyn. i havent followed up on that yet... and the symptoms aren't getting any better....

Guest guest Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Hello Duleep! Basically what happend is they went and blew up my stomach so that they could insert some sort of camera (of course I was completely out during all the procedure)...then they take an instrument that burns off the endemetriosis around the uterus...quite a simple procedure really...like I mentioned before, I had some other procedures done as well...they removed my left ovary and both of my tubes...so I was in a lot of pain from those particular procedures...but not too much from the ablation...if you would like to ask me anything more, feel free!

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2006 Report Share Posted September 8, 2006 Most women have uterine fibroids at some point, which are usually diagnosed by an ultrasound. They are rarely anything to be concerned with. They are caused by an excess of estrogen, especially common as progesterone levels begin to drop. This can happen from your mid- 30's on. Or, some women just have too darned much estrogen even earlier due to xenoestrogens in our foods and the environement. Fibroids cause " flooding " however they are also very easily addressed. They grow and shrink and when menopause comes (estrogen drops) they generally disappear altogether. Unless you're really having major bleeding and pain, there's no need for any kind of surgery although MD's are quick to suggest it. Before I knew better, I had a D & C for mine. Sure wouldn't again knowing what I do now. One of the best natural approaches is castor oil packs. Also, a high quality progesterone cream helps tremendously and very quickly. Of course, if you feel concerned, a proceedure and biopsy is always an option. HTH, Michelle http://www.holisticmidlifewoman.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 I've got a question sort of relating to this. For years I've had very heavy bleeding and a lot of pain associated with it. About a year and a half ago I had it looked into. I was told that there's nothing really wrong. The OB/GYN said that my uteris is tipped, and the lining is a little thick, but within normal range. I was put on the pill. While this has helped tremedously with the flow, and some with the pain, it's not the ideal situation. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 I am glad to hear this. I have had a hysteroscopy and seen the polyp on film and the doctor took a biopsy. Why are doctors taking this route of surgery? How do you know that you are doing the correct thing when you decide not to do the surgery? I have gotten several answers on a couple other groups and it seems that they are split down the middle. Some say they have had the surgery " removal of polyp and endometrial abolition " and are glad and some say that it is not necessary. And if you have the surgery, it can cause the polyp area to grow cancer through the years. I am very confused with this.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 I had the very same thing- and I just had about one month ago a procedure call hydrodysplasia- I think that is the name. They sedate you then they put a copper coil up there, and run hot water, 90 degrees and it burns the layers of the uterus. I was due to get my period and I only " spotted " one day! I went from hospital size pads to alittle spotting! AMAZING- also no cramps. But I do have to say- that before the procedure- I did do Yoga and it totally helped for the cramps. I also used a colon cleanse and this too helped with the cramping and the headaches the day before. Ask your GYN about it- it is called hydro something either dysplasia or plasia- I called it a hot water D and C only they didn't do the D and C part.

Guest guest Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 Thank you! I'll have to look into that. I also should be cleansing on a more regular basis. :} Deb -- In , Ellen Schueler Wenz <hushpup wrote: > > I had the very same thing- and I just had about one month ago a procedure call hydrodysplasia- I think that is the name.
