Which is better a partial hystorectomy or uterine ablation?

Individual issue: It is different for for each woman, very generally if you are a candidate for ablation, it is quicker, easier and less risky and wear and tear on the body. It improves your periods about 90% of the time.

Ablation: Both procedures have similar indications, yet sometimes only one can be used. If your uterus is normal sized ablation is a good choice.Yet remember that in 5 years almost 20% of people will return for a hysterectomy. Hysterectomy once done solves the bleeding problem forever, yet more riskier to perform compared with ablation.In the end it is your choice, based on your personal values.
