TMI - What? Again?
Six months ago I underwent a surgery (endometrial ablation) to slow down excessive menstrual bleeding. The operation worked, until last month.
Out of nowhere the insane bleeding started again. Ive had another ultrasound and seen the gynecologist and thus far the ultrasound appears normal. However the last time I when through this they couldn't get down to the root cause without another more invasive ultrasound. That is scheduled for next Wednesday.
I asked my Gyno what were our options if the fibroid has come back (I suspect that is what the problem is) She said we could re-do the surgery but my thought is that if the surgery didn't work the first time there is not guarantee that it will work this time either.
She also mentioned the big "H". Hysterectomy.
If we went with that option it would be done lapriscopicly, so the recovery time would be much better than an abdominal surgery.
Really it sounds like the best option to me. I stop bleeding, I don't have to be on a hormonal method of birth control, and , oh yeah I STOP BLEEDING!
So we'll see what happens with this next test.
