Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 I'm curious if anyone has had significant blood loss during either hysteroscopic myomectomy or endometrial ablation. I am planning to have both at the same time and wonder if I should consider donating my own blood in advance or if the need is very rare. Obviously I will also ask my doctor. Any other advice/ suggestion/questions for the doctor before I have these procedures would be great. ALso, how long and how heavy has the bleeding been for women after these procedures? How long after the procedure did you fell 100%. Thank you, Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 I have had both procedures done, but not at the same time. I had the ablation done about 18 months after the resection. Blood loss was not a problem with either procedure. I did have quite a bit of pain for 12 hours after the ablation and none at all after the resection. To let you know how light my periods are now - I only buy " lite " tampons, and a small box lasts 2 - 3 months. > I'm curious if anyone has had significant blood loss during either > hysteroscopic myomectomy or endometrial ablation.
