Cramps and no bleeding 1 year after ablation and 9 years after tubal burning: PLEASE HELP!!
by Emily10, Oct 14, 2009 01:17PM
I want to know if it is normal at my age 44 to have sever cramps for 2-3 days during a time I should have my period. Last month no period at all and this month very little bleeding and severe cramps? I am asking this becaue I had ablation done 1 year ago and a tubal burning 9 years ago.
After the tubal I still had very heavy bleeding, well I always had pain and bleeding since I started menstrating at 14.
After my ablation surgery in Oct. 2008, I still had regular periods though much lighter for almost a year, then last month no period and this month my period was very light on one day and severe cramps for 3*4 days...is this normal??? are my periods over? should I be concerned?
Any help would be appreciated.

You are certainly of the age for perimenopause so, it's highly likely that you are also experiencing the ups and downs in fluctuations of hormones as we all do. Perimenopause can be a time when women who have normally had heavy periods, get lighter ones. Those who usually had light periods, can have extremely heavy at this point. Those who never suffered from cramping, may start or those who have, may worsen or lighten up on them.
So, it's possible that your prostaglandin levels (the hormone responsible for cramping) has been shifted to a higher level with perimenopausal changes, causing more cramping but, there is a syndrome that seems to come with the ablation procedure. Take a look at this thread and read down to others who are further post-op. The cramping seems to be a common thing.
