Does anyone have any experience with uterine ablation? I am finally at the breaking point and need to do something about this. I am 48 now. Since I turned 40 my periods have been getting heavier and heavier each year. I am now at point where I am using a super plus tampon and a pad at the same time and it only lasts about 40 minutes! This is only on the first day though. I try and take 400 mg of Ibuprofen every 4 hours but it still doesn't really do anything to slow it down. I have put ice on my stomach, drink lots of water, legs raised. This last period was awful and because of the excessive bleeding I had an awful headache along with that fuzzy head feeling and couldn't stay standing for long.

I don't like surgery because it takes me a week to recover from the anesthesia. Has anyone had an ablation in the office instead of surgery?
would you do it again?
Help!

If I sat at home all day I wouldn't care but I can't go to work anymore when this is happening and I can't hardly see straight, am tired and have to keep laying down.
