Has anyone had "her Option" cryo ablation procedure done for heavy bleeding,pms, cramps. I had it done four days ago and and h

Hi Ellen, I had the procedure done in Sept. 2008 and have had difficulty since. The doctor did say it could be 6 months for final results. I had a heavy period the month after and in Nov. experenced another heavy period with severe pain. The doctor the put me on progesterone to slow it down and it stopped. The day after I finished the pills I had severe cramps, they lasted 5 days with my period in between. The cramps were so bad I went on Fioricet and another heavy painkiller to reduce the pain. The doctor then did an ultrasound and found no obstructions or blockages. Now we are just waiting to see if my next period is the same if so its on to another doctor to find the source of the pain.

Greetings,

I am new to this site. I had the heroption cryoablation procedure done in June of 2005. For the first couple of years my periods were very light and short. I was able to use panty liners and lite tampons for the 3-4 day time frame. I was thrilled. However, within the last year, my cycle is changing. I have had cycles that the lite tampon is not enough. At the moment I am on my 16th day of flow. This is weird.

The recent shift to regular tampons is better than the super plus tampons and maxi pad backups I had to use prior to the surgery. I am just worried that I am on a road that will lead me back to that state. I do not want to go there.

Yes, I have a call into my gyn and am waiting for a return call.

Any one out there who this far into their post-procedure experience that can give some insight?

Thanks for checking this out!! It definetly makes me feel better about having it done a second time. I keep hoping each month that my periods will get lighter but they don't. So I will probably have the second ablation done in a couple of months. Thanks again! This website is great!!

I had mine done in July, 2008. Just went for my 6 month check up. My dr. looked at my card I had to fill out every month to keep track of my periods. He asked me if I was happy with the results, which I am not 100% BUT my periods are only heavy for about a day and a half, only have to change my tampon every 3 hours instead of every hour. He said I could have the ablation done again or have a hysterectomy or wait it out until menopause as I am 50. He said it was up to me, whatever I wanted to put up with or have done. He did say everyone is different and this procedure works differently with everyone. I just wasn't one of the lucky ones. I would probably have the ablation done again vs the hysterectomy. It was very uncomfortable and I remember just wanting to brush his hands away and tell him to stop. It didn't really hurt just irritating. I will have to think about it, probably until spring and see what I want to do. Has anyone out there had it done a second time? If so, did it work any better?

I had Her Option done September 26th. My period last month wasn't as bad as they have been in the past, but this month is horrible. No clots, but heavy bleeding and some pretty bad cramps and nausea. Please tell me there's a chance that next month will be better.
