Dr. Bryan Treacy answered

Specializes in Gynecology

Depends: Endometrial ablation is a procedure designed to decrease menstrual flow or even eliminate it in some instances. A woman's menstrual flow after ablation may be lighter, stay the same or not be present. Increase in menstrual flow or irregular menses warrant evaluation after ablations.
