Dear Brooke,
No disrespect taken at all. I don't know why you had the Novasure, adeno like me or something else but I am so sorry you had a poor outcome. I chose to have it after much research because my only other option was to have a total abdominal hysterectomy, and there is no way I am ready for that. Although we are not having anymore children, I feel strongly that emotionally I don't want my uterus removed unless it is absolutely the only choice, and since my doc said it should be a last resort I thought it would be worth the chance to try the less invasive surgery rather than having a major surgery with a much longer recovery time. My doc told me to expect that the burnt tissue would come out, and may have bleeding and or spotting. I don't go for my follow-up until 6 weeks post-op. I am now three days post-op and feeling great. No bleeding, just cramping which is very manageable with the meds. I stay put on my heating pad, and hubby took time off of work to take care of the baby. What are your options now? I hope that you have some options. Thanks alicia
I do not mean to talk down the abalation and novasure, I had this done in Jan along with a d&c. I have found that in my case it didnt do anything. My periods are worse, the pain is the same if not worse, I have weird brown and black discharge. I wish I would have researched it a little more before consenting. Heinsight is 20/20. Felt you should know the possible adverse outcome that I wish I would have.
No disrespect intended

Hello,
I have similar symptoms. Have you been diagnosed with adenomyosis? I had an MRI and then an ultrasound with a biopsy to confirm that I have it. I am having a procedure called Novasure next week. This is a procedure that burns the lining of the uterus to reduce bleeding and pain. I have very heavy periods, for 20 days or more, with severe back pain. My OB/GYN explained to me that the reason I feel most of the pain in my back is that my uterus is tipped towards the back(retro) I think it's called. I have always suffered with ovarian cysts every cycle, but mine are functional and they are very painful but go away on their own. The only cure for the cysts I have is BC pills which I cannot take. My biopsy also confirmed no cancer in uterus. Maybe you need a second opinion. I am hoping for good results with the Novasure ablation I am having. 75% of women have little to no periods again, and reduced pain too. I hope this helps a little, best wishes

Hey kid...I would get a second opinion and I would seek the advice of a gyn/oncologist because this is their arena of expertise.....absolutely, if there is going to be a surgery, YOU HAVE ONLY ONE CHANCE TO GET IT RIGHT THE FIRST TIME.....see a gyn/oncologist....that is who you want by your side.
Peace.
