Question 1

is it possible to have more than one ablation done?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, you can have another ablation procedure done at a later time.  It all depends on how extensive the first ablation was and for what condition.  Check with your cardiologist or electrophysiologist.

Question 3

had a svt ablation done on dec 30. feeling very dizzy and sick today not sure what to do. also experiencing a lot of pain at one incision site. ?

Accepted Answer

Ablation: Having incisional pain after an ablation is common. Dizziness and nausea are not as common. It is important to stay hydrated and if possible take your pulse during dizzy spell. Would suggest calling physician who performed the ablation

Question 4

after having catheter ablation on my heart for wpw/svt my doctor told me not to drink caffeine for one year... it has been more than one year now since then so is it safe for me to drink caffeine?

Accepted Answer

: You would need to ask your cardiologist who did the ablation procedure if it is now safe to have caffeine. Your cardiologist knows your heart the best and can tell you what the risks are if you add caffeine to your diet. You may need an EKG or Holter monitor to see if you are having any residual arrhythmias. So, give your cardiologist a call! Good luck!!

Question 5

i have had my ovaries and tubes removed about 2 months ago along with endometrial abalation done . 
since then i have started bloating , gaining , skin breakouts and many more is it true that my body is not producing oestrogen?

Accepted Answer

Very little: With both overdoes removed you are producing little to no estrogen only from adipose tissue now

Question 6

i had ablation done a year ago just got period is that normal?

Accepted Answer

It can happen: While  many women will stop having their periods after an endometrial ablation, the rate of amenorrhea (no periods) is less than 50%).  So, it is entirely possible that you may start to menstruate even years after having had an ablation.  If it is regular, it is nothing to be concerned about.  If it is irregular, extremely heavy or very long, you should see your doctor.

Question 7

am i at at greater risk of having a second ablation done for svt?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: not if the first ablation was successful.

Question 8

why can't a person lift more than 10 lbs after femoral ablation for avnrt?

Accepted Answer

Post op precautions: Hi
If you just had the procedure done, it is to minimize risk for post procedural complications at the access site - where they placed the catheter. Hope this answers your question

Question 9

i had a dnc and an ablation done 1 month ago. how soon will my body go into menopause?

Accepted Answer

Depends on age: An ablation may or may not completely stop your cycle.  Time will tell on that. An ablation is really designed to decrease heavy bleeding. Now traditionally menopause is when the ovaries stop producing significant amounts of hormones, usually around age 51. (hot flashes, mood swings, sleep issues, vaginal dryness, etc...)  an ablation has nothing to do with that.

Question 10

had a polypectectomy, ablation and surprise exploratory laprascopic. what kind of surgery is in my future? no specifics given just that more surgery

Accepted Answer

Your doctor knows: only your doctor knows and can tell you why  you need more surgery . since it was a surprise exlap, the reason was unexpected. therefore it's anybody's guess what happened. have a good discussion, slow and focused with your surgeon.
