A member asked:

Is its normal to bleed five years after an ablation?

Dr. Marsha Davis answered

Specializes in Internal Medicine

Not really: The object of the ablation is to stop the bleeding but 5 years out is a long time and at your age it would not be uncommon for the uterine lining to be reforming and bleeding to be occurring.
