A member asked:
I can't decide between ablation & hysterectomy. is ablation permanent? i've heard that the lining will grow back over time.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, it's permanent: However the results are variable. About 10% of the time it will have no effect while maybe half the time it will eliminate your periods entirely. Ablation is a much easier. safer. and quicker procedure. If the results are unsatisfactory then the hysterectomy can be done later.
