For the woman who have had the Endometrial Ablation Proceedure?

My doctor has recommended this for me. It sounds GREAT but I was wondering (to those who have had this done) does it stop your period all together or what? Also, did it stop your pre-menstrual symptoms, (bloating, mood change, hunger, etc..) Any other info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks ahead
Answer:
I had an endometrial ablation done back in 12/04 for very heavy/problematic periods.

For some women, the ablation may end their periods. For others, like myself, the period becomes lighter. :)

It does NOT stop any type of hormonally induced troubles... such as PMS-type symptoms. (I wish it did... I have seriously severe PMDD.)

I wish you all the best. I guess you already know that you must not become pregnant after an ablation and that a permanent method of bc must be implemented, either by you or your partner, so I won't go into that. I had the Essure procedure done at the same time.
I warn you, it can prevent you from ever becoming pregnant and could have serious risks, like uteral perforation, for example. Seriously discuss all the pros, cons, and risks with your OB/GYN before undergoing this operation. If you decide to do it, your life could either become much better, or much worse. Make the right decision and think about the future. Good luck!
