90 percent of women who have an endometrial ablation end up with a hysterectomy. You were very lucky. Don't recommend them, plz.

I'm terribly confused and would like sources for this statement. I have a medical science degree; and none of my main sources, peers, or anyone in the Endometriosis community mentioned statistics remotely close to that... and I researched it thoroughly because I also had severe PMDD.

It was a wonderful, easy, low-pain, and simple procedure, which gave me my life back... and I was on my feet shortly after. I swear by it, and am severely immunocompromised, so anything healing related that can go wrong will go wrong; yet I'm great, years later, and so so happy.

The main risks mentioned: Periods coming back, bleeding, infection, harder to detect cancer, and (ironically) sterilization.

Could there be another medical procedure that was in mind?
