Hello! I had an ablation about 4 years ago for heavy, non-stop bleeding...even went into theatre flooding. It was the best thing for me. General anaesthetic was fine (you're not under long) woke to no bleeding, just a watery, brownish discharge for about a week (not heavy, panty liner sufficient). Took just paracetamol for 2 days...didn't really need them as wasn't really in pain, a bit bloated. A couple of days doing not much and I was fine! Had no periods after that, sometimes a speck of blood once a monthish which happens if a few cells are left behind. X
