Menopause Answer A24318
Hi,
Welcome to ehealthforum,
If the problem is due to endometrial ablation, the ablation usually works in controlling the symptoms. You can start being sexually active after about 4-6 weeks of ablation procedure or after your follow-up check done by your treating gynecologist. You should consider following your treating gynecologist’s instructions and proceed with further management. Be in regular follow-up and monitoring with your treating doctor/gynecologist.
Take care.
