*~Tina~* Posted August 31, 2011 Author Share Posted August 31, 2011 Yes, I think my gynecologist said it had been on the market for about a year and a half in the US, but in Europe (or somewhere) for like 20 years. I wanted real life feedback before trying :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ria Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Call your local pharmacy and ask to speak with a pharmacist. They are your absolute best source of information about drugs! I'm a pharmacy tech, and when patients call our rph to ask a question like you posted, she'll look the drug up on several different data bases...it's amazing the info they have at their disposal. Hope you find some answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elizabeth Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 If you are finished with child bearing endometrial ablation is a breeze. It changed my life. I had to get two iron infusions prior to surgery due to extreme anemia. Presently my period lasts two days and I need one pad per day. It was twelve using both tampons and pad. I have my life back. I cannot recommend this highly enough IF you are done having children. If not, I am truly sorry you have to suffer with this. It is awful.

Does it help if you have fibroids? Is it expensive? I am awaiting the results of an endometrial biopsy that I had done on Monday. Assuming it comes back negative for cancer and I don't have to have a hysterectomy, I want to pursue the ablation. Getting my life back from periods would be a very welcome change. OP - I haven't heard of that med. I hope it works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
