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

I hade the heroption 3 weeks ago. 3 days after the procedure I was admitted by the ER with what turned out to be sepsis. I was in the hospital for 8 days on heavy antibotics. I am not sure how often this happens but it was pretty bad for me. Very high fever, chills, svere shaking, very low blood pressure. I have to say, I did have my first period, and while it seams to be lasting quite some time, it is very light. I had the watery, smelly discharge but that only lasted a couple of days. The pain after the procedure was not to bad, but the sickness was. I am just hoping that this will end my heavy bleeding and turns out to be worth all the bad stuff that has happened.

Hi I'm a 29 y/o mom of four and done having kids so the dr thought this was a good procedure for me. He did a endometiral biopsy and U/S first before he scheduled the procedure.
I had the cryoablation done on July 20th a few days after my period ended. I took a valium before hand and then the shots down there made me feel kinda "drunk" for a few minutes. The procedure didn't take long, it was a little uncomfortable for me and parts did hurt like when he'd lift up on the instrument and it rubbed on my uterus (for the ultrasound so they could see what was happening). I had bloody discharge right after....then nothing for a few days and then heavy yellowish smelly discharge for about 3 weeks.
I just got my period yesterday....it's been light so far...have had some cramping but not to bad. I don't go back to the OBGYN until October.

Well i hate to be a bearer of bad news, but here goes my story! I had the procedure on December 31st. I bled for 12 weeks with very large intense cramps, along with tons of tissue. Went to the doc 3 times. They said i just had a very thick lining. So here i am in Aug(6months out) with this extremely intense pressure and pain. I was in tears. Tried tylenol 3, darvocet, 800 motrin, nothing. Finally got in to the PA who said" your cervix is closed completely " and sent me for a US. An 1.5 Ultrasound! The tech was confused at what she saw, so she called in another tech, who the called in a radiologist, who the looked for a bit and sent me straight to the hospital. I had a side effect from the procedure that wasn't even listed! My cervix had so much scare tissue from the ablasion that it had closed! I had 6 months of periods setting in my uterus with nowhere to go=extreme pain! They admitted me, did toradol,digitol, and zofram overnight and did a DNC the next day. Now they tell me it's scarred so bad that I am being scheduled for a robotic hyterectomy. So now i have paid for the ablasion, an emergency procedure, and a hyterectomy, I don't reccommend this procedure unless you have ALL the info. Doctors aren't telling you everything they need to about it. My side effect was extermely rare, is what i'm told, but if not taken care of could have killed me! Is it really worth the risk?

Hi I had posted couple times before and the last one was in June, things are going good for me i had mine done in february 2009 and I had the watery discharge for 5 weeks and had a period for a few days and was nothing. Now this is August 9 and I am 6 months into this and today I started spotting pink and not sure what is going to happen, I hope nothing but has anyone ever experience this before. It was so nice not having nothing and I see this, I don't see my doctor till next month for my yearly checkup I will ask him then.. Has anyone have problems of gaining weight and hard to loose...
Good Luck to All

I bleed for quite awhile afterwards. I am now 6 months out and having issues with extreme pain/pressure for 3 days each month. It is so bad i cannot walk or function. Motrin 800 doesn't even phase it. I fear now that after i paid money for that procedure, that they are still going to have to do a hysterectomy. Which what they they said i was avoiding by doing the ablation.

I posted earlier and am providing an update.
My procedure was on June 22... it's now August 2.
Again, the procedure was painless. The discharge lasted about 4 weeks.... be sure to buy a BIG bag of Maxi pads the day before the procedure. I think I had a period, but not sure... it was very light.
I've had no other complications, so I'm leaning toward a "yes this is a valid option to hysterectomy" vote.

That would be CRYO not CYRO....sorry, typo!

I just had cyroablation done yesterday. The procedure itself seemed to go fine, but I was very out of it because of the pain pill and valium that I took prior to the procedure. I had cramping yesterday after the procedure and took an 800 mg ibuprofin pill. Yesterday I had a heavy pink, watery discharge with very minor small tissue matter. Today, no pain at all, but I am very bloated. The discharge is totally clear, but quite heavy. The nurse had told me that a panti-liner would be enough, but I have to use a pad (although it has been only about 18 hours since the procedure). Honestly, if I had read these comments here before I had the procedure done, I probably wouldn't have done it. I'm terrified now of having to wear a pad for months on end. The doctor did say my 1st period would probably be heavier than normal, but it's not due for almost 2 weeks, so we'll see. How long does the bloating last?

I Just had Her Option done July 7th. My Dr. gave me a vicadin to take one hour before, a ibuorofen to be taken 2 hours before the procedure, and one phenergan for nausea. I was also given a shot when I arrived at the office. Really the procedure was not painful at all, just a little discomfort, and I think that was only because my bladder was full. After the procedure, I did experience sever cramping for about 30 min, and then thought I was going to loose my breakfast. It quicly passed, and Ii I was just extremely tired from all the meds. I went home, never took any pain medication, felt no pain, just slept the medication off. Got up the next day, started a new job, and was just a little tired, no pain.
The watery discharge is lighting up, almost gone. I was told not to use tampons, but during the day, I cannot stand pads so I have used tampons. As soon as I get home I only have to use a thin panty liner.
I am praying I will not have that horrible period I have read from past postings. My procedure is was only 11 days ago, but so far so good. I will keep you al posted.
