It : It would be a good idea to see a gynecologist and have the problem evaluated again just to make sure. It is possible that the bleeding may be from the cervix instead of the uterus. There may be a cervical polyp that was not removed during the d&c. If there is no other reason found other the abnormal uterine bleeding, you can stop the problem by having an ablation done. It is a procedure that can be done easily in the doctor's office to stop the bleeding the recovery time is very short so you are back to usual activity in a few days. I have both novasure an thermachoice equipment in the office for ablations. They are both very good. People choose one or the other for different reasons. Mabel obeng md.

You'll need to have: it looked at. Two reasons at least. Abnormal bleeding is a cancer sign. If it were, then it would be one with a high cure rate if found early. THen, it can also be a sign of diabetes of all things (polycystic overay syndrome). which is quite treatable.
