A member asked:

How complete is an endometrial ablation? do you still have some residual symptoms afterward?

Dr. Ron Eaker answered

Varies: The amount of tissue destroyed varies with different ablation procedures. With most there is usually a very small amount of tissue that remains, which explains why not everyone stops bleeding altogether.
