A member asked:

Why would you have an endometrial ablation done?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Very heavy bleeding: Endometrial ablation is used to treat very heavy menstrual bleeding when medical or non-surgical treatments fail or are not advised for other reasons. Ablation is not appropriate for someone who would like to have more children.
