The doc I'm seeing on Feb 11th does this proceedure or the one where they use heat to burn the endometrium. My step sis had it done 4 months ago and she says it has helped her. It also is the proceedure that the doc told me 3 yrs ago that if things didn't get better he'd do, then he retired and left me with the idiot who did a pelvic but didn't bother to do my pap smear at the same time. I'm gonna ask specifically about the ablasion. I mean if I'm already fixed and don't plan to have any kids why not do it and see if it makes a difference. I don't see where it could hurt?
