Painful, heavy menstrual bleeding can be an incredibly disruptive experience for many women. It is more than just an inconvenience; it can cause low energy levels, and painful cramps. Medications may not always help, and further treatment is needed. Fortunately, there are a range of treatments available that can reduce painful, heavy menstrual bleeding. These include medications and surgical procedures such as Endometrial Ablation or Uterine Ablation.

Endometrial ablation is an endoscopic procedure designed to treat abnormal uterine bleeding. The surgery involves the removal of the endometrium, which is the inner lining of the uterus, by burning the uterus lining using electrical current, laser energy, microwaves, or heated fluid.

Endometrial ablation is a relatively simple and effective surgery many women opt for as an alternative to hysterectomy. In most cases, it can also eliminate the need for hormone treatments. Recovery from the endometrial ablation procedure takes about 6-8 weeks. However, it might take some individuals more time to recover fully.

Experiencing a first period after ablation can be nerve-wracking and confusing, as endometrial ablation can cause changes to your menstrual cycles. It is essential to understand that every woman will experience different outcomes when it comes to their first period after endometrial ablation. Generally, the first period will come quickly, be lighter in flow, and be shorter.
