Good choice: An ablation is a great option for people with heavy periods who are finished having children. I assume you have had a pelvic sonogram already. Fibroids are easy to see on a sonogram. Even if you did have fibroids an ablation is still a reasonable option.

Glad u r getting tx: It may be due to a hormonal imbalance whereby you do not ovulate regularly, and the lining thickens uncontrollably and bleeds heavily, and unpredictably. Your doctor usually does a biopsy before planning an ablation to make sure there are no precancerous changes, or endometrial cancer (u should not have an ablation if there is cancer or precancerous cells).Adenomyosis can cause similar problems t.

Heavy bleeding for 3 weeks now. TVS Ultrasound shows endo lining 29mm, cyst & fibroid. Hysteroscopy was done. Result says "Scant fragments of inactive endometrium with stromal breakdown. Abundant Blood Clot." Does that essentially mean inconclusive?
