Should I have an ablation or just wait it out??
by heart2heart, Jun 01, 2009 05:21PM
I'm 57 and still not in menopause. My FSH is only 8.5 and my estrodial is 46. Sometimes I skip a month or two and other times I have bleeding with periods that last for weeks and I have to take progesterone pills to stop the bleeding. My doctor thinks maybe I should have an endometrial ablation but it is my choice. On the other hand I could go into menopause next year (I've been telling myself this for a few years now) Are there any documented cases of a woman NEVER going into menopause? Any gynecologists out there who can answer that question?

Does it matter to you how long this goes on? What about your mom's menopause, when did it occur? I have asked myself some of these exact questions too.
What do you think are the pro's and cons to the ablation?
I don't like going under any anesthesia, although some people seem to like it. Also if you have an endometrial ablation, how can you tell if there is cancer occuring in your uterus? One of the symptoms is abnormal bleeding and now you won't bleed because you don't have the lining anymore.
