Probably normal: Endometrial ablation is typically done by using thermal or rf , (radio frequency), to destroy the endometrial lining. Imagine a burn on your skin. At first, the wound "weeps" fluid before healing. This is similar to the watery or bloody discharge during the 4-6 weeks after an ablation. If you are having persistent pain, and this doesn't get better quickly, contact your physician.

Not normal: Endometrial ablations are great procedures for women that have heavy menses in the abscence of other diagnosis. Some bleeding and some cramping is expected for approximately 4 weeks after the procedure. If the uterus containd large fiboids, or if there is a septum there is a higher chance of failure. Also, women with endometriosis or adenomyosis may experience more pain after an ablation.
