Endometrial Ablation
      #190369 - 10/02/04 03:31 PM

Just wondering if any of the women on this board have ever had "endometrial ablation" for endometriosis? My doctor has recommended it for me. It sounds too good to be true ...

I underwent surgery to have endometrial ablation, but it was discovered that I didn't even have endometriosis once they cut me up! I had "pelivc congestion syndrome" instead, and had a uterine nerve ablation.

Does pelvic congestion syndrome have the same symptoms as endometriosis (my guess is yes since they thought that is what you had). Are you feeling better since the procedure? How long was the recovery period?

The recovery time was about 3 days or so, although I still have a weird sensation in my belly button when I move just so.

I think PCS is something of a wastebasket diagnosis, although my operative report notes that the
"veins look consistant with PCS," i.e. - engorged.

I still have pain, but it seems less severe. My right uterine nerve was ablated during the procedure, hoping to provide some relief. As for the left, I guess there wasn't one there, along with the left ovary, fallopian tube, and lumbarsacral ligament.
