...called Cervical Ablation. Have any of you ever had it and if so, what were your result? Would you recommend having it?
 
It's really not that bad and if you are doing it because of cancerous cells it's best to get it done as soon as possible. Don't be scared, it sounds much worse than it is. Good luck to you!

Do you know what cervical ablation is?

If not, I wouldn't suggest getting it unless you do.
 
Of course I do. It's destroying the lining of the uterus. I've done a lot of reading about it, but haven't talked to anyone who has had it and was wondering if their procedure was successful.

Ahhh...this is for health or contraceptive purposes?

It's for health reasons. I have endometriosis. This is an alternative to a hysterectomy.

I sorta know what that is.


I wish you well. I think there should be some kind of statistics available on the sucess and side effect rate...but you may not trust those...

Thank you. That's why I'd like to hear from someone who's had it. I've read the stats and seen the literature, but there's nothing like a personal endorsement.

SaraPet, I've never even heard of the procedure, but I wish you well.
