A member asked:
I have menorrhagia. i get 5-6 iron infusion/yr. lysteda vs endometrial ablation (i dont care for pregnancy). what are pros/cons for each?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
If u are getting: Iron infusions, u need to have a da vinci robot hysterectomy and then u will not bleed at all, I do ablations in office and if i could garantee u it would get rid of all of your bleeding that would be the way to go but it doesn't always work and I use Lysteda , but in your case u need it out and the robot is the least invasive way and make sure the doc does many robots not just a few.
