  • My ex had 3. They did something called a ablation that got rid of them. It also stopped her periods. This didn't require surgery. She always said that she was really happy she got it done.

      • Ablation means they laser or cut out the fibroids or the uterus lining.

      • An ablation doesn't use any cutting or lasers. They use a form of ultrasound to break them down then the rest of what I said to finish the process. Its a vaginal procedure requiring no cutting at all . You will be put under and there is pain after you awake. But its a outpatient thing.

        • "Different procedures have been used and are all similarly effective for destroying the uterine lining tissue. These include laser beam, electricity, freezing, and heating."

          Also, this is considered a surgical procedure, regardless of whether cutting is involved or not.

          • Straight from the Google search results.
            Mine is straight from the ob gyn who did the procedure.
            I repeat. They did not use lasers or cut anything.

            • Did you even read? At no point did I correct what you said about your wife's procedure. I added extra detail so that the OP has a complete picture. I said there are several options and I didn't say they did cut anything. So get off your fucking high horse.

    • If she's had no periods since does that mean that she coincidentally went into memopause or did they remove the entire uterus? Just asking ...

      • Its not a hysterectomy. She kept everything. What the ablation does is cauterize all the blood vessels on the uterine wall which stops the cycle. At times she would still get a mild cramp or 2. She already had a tubal so it's not a issue there. But if you want children I don't think you can get it done. But as for menopause that didn't start for about 8 years later. She was 36 when she got it and started getting the symptoms of menopause at around 42 or so.. hot flashes and night sweating, etc.
