Greetings, I Had Novasure Ablation In 2014 And Started Bleeding

Posted on Sun, 8 Dec 2019

Question: Greetings, I had novasure ablation in 2014 and started bleeding uncontrollably ystrdy w/ severe cramping. I have not had any significant bleeding (a light spotting here & there over the years) since the ablation and I’m almost 52 yo. Any idea why I would start bleeding like this out of the blue? It tapered a bit last night, but is starting up again this afternoon. Very distressing!

Brief Answer:
Can be due to regrown endometrium.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for trusting us with your health concern.
The sudden bleeding that has started can happen due to regrowth of the uterine endometrium. The ablation is not a permanent procedure. You need to get an ultrasound scan done to find out the endometrial thickness. Till then in case the bleeding is heavy, you can start with Tab. Pause MF to control the bleeding.
Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
