Heavy/painful periods, surgical procedure NOVASURE
I am 35 and have had three kids. I have had painful, heavy periods since starting at age 12. After having a breech baby, I ended up with a stage one bladder prolapse. Because of my heavy periods and the prolapse, my doc suggested surgery for the prolapse and a possible hysterectomy when I am closer to the age of 40. He felt I was still to young for a hysterectomy. Anyway, I recently read about a surgical outpatient procedure called NOVASURE that can kill the inside linning of the uterus causing a women to have very light periods or none at all. This procedure can only be done if your done having kids. I AM JUST WONDERING IF ANY OTHER WOMEN OUT THERE HAS HAD HEAVY/PAINFUL PERIODS AND IF THEY HAD THIS PROCEDURE DONE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I have tried the nuvaring, and the pill to combat this problem, to no avail. Any thoughts or advice on this issue would greatly be appreciated! GOD BLESS!
I had NovaSure in December 12, 2007, I had a discharge for about two weeks and nothing until now maybe a little brown discharge. A couple of days ago I experienced some mild cramping and a little brown discharge. Today, I have a massibe migraine has anyone experience headaches?
I'm 37 years old and suffered from long heavy periods to the point of being anemic. I had the novasure done in August of 2007. No pain at all. I had about two weeks of light discharge. Thats been it. Nothing for five months now. The novasure worked great for me, glad I did it.
Novasure is awesome, may not work for everyone but for those that it does it really improves those periods until you finally go through your changes.
I know how you feel I had the nova sure done back in November and yes I have lighter periods then before however I still bleed pretty heavy I am waiting to see my doctor again.I hope you have better luck as time goes on.

hi i'm going in for my novasure on the 26th of feb.I also have a fibroid my dr. gave me a med that stopped the bleeding you take for 25 days and the you start on the 1rst of the month again.But I have had heavy cycles ever since i was 12 so this hopefully will stop the bleeding.My dr.says there is a 50 50 chance I might have to have a subtotal hysterectomy.I know one of you ladys was put to sleep my dr. gave me all kinds of meds to take before the surgery.He says he will be injecting the wall and then the novasure will start.I praying that it will not hurt at all. How did it feel during the surgery for the ladys who have already gone through it.PLEASE!!!!!!!!! let me know thanks sooooo much GOD BLESS!
