Have PCOS, Done Novasure Procedure. Now Abdominal Pain, Bloating, Gas, No Discharge. Concerned

Thanks for posting your query.
The novasure procedure is endometrial ablation procedure and is done to reduce the thickness of endometrium and to decrease the uterine bleeding during periods.
Having no periods or discharge after the procedure is a common finding. It takes 3-4 months for the uterine lining to adjust to the procedure.
The pain and bloating around the time of your period is likely to be due to the pre menstrual syndrome. The post op complications after this procedure are rare. You can use a mild pain killer along with antispasmodic and some hot fomentation in the lower abdomen to relieve yourself from these symptoms. These pains are likely to reduce after next 2-3 cycles. Please do not worry.
In case the symptoms are persistent then you can go for an ultrasound scan of lower abdomen to find out any other pathology.
Hope this answers your query. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have.
Please accept my answer in case you do not have further queries.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Thanks for writing again.
Immediate post op examination may be painful sometimes. To know that your cervical canal is patent and nothing is collected inside the uterine cavity, an ultrasound examination will help in proper diagnosis.
Although there is lesser need of PAP smear screening after the procedure, still it is best to go for an yearly screening as you have a positive family history.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
