Should be quick: One of the advantages of the endometrial ablation is the quick recovery. This is a minimally invasive procedure; most patients are back to normal in about a week. There is some cramping that can be expected.If you are having bad cramps, pain or a foul discharge, these could be signs of an infection. Follow up with the surgeon who performed the procedure.They can and should tell you what to expect.

2-3 days: Often the worst part of recovery is recovery from anesthesia. This procedure can be done with a paracervical block which does not leave you with a "hungover" feeling. Many of my patients are back to work on monday after having an ablation on friday. The worst part is the discharge--but that should not be an issue for work.
