I am 38 and having heavy periods with
clots ,i am due to go into hospital on dec
8th for this operation ,they insert a
balloon into your womb fill it with water
and heat it up it supposed to take away
some of the womb lining giving you lighter
periods (i dont know the propper name for
this op) I am so scared as I dont know
anyone who,s had it done and also does it
work thanks in advance :

My sister-in-law just had this done about
a month ago. I don't remember the name
either but, she was having the heavy
periods just like you etc... She came
out of it just fine!!! She was up and
about in a few days and it helped
tremedously. Good luck

I was going to have it done, it isn't
something to be taken lightly. I would
not do it just for heavy periods. Now if
the periods lasted for weeks at a time i'd
do it. Just like any other surgery it has
its risk. That procedure is a big load on
the heart for some reason.
I was going to have it because I was
bleeding 6 weeks then stop for 10-14 days
then bleeding again. Doc did a biopsy in
the uterus, ultra sound pics of the
ovaries and uterus and all was normal
except thickened lining inside the uterus
so we were setting up the procedure when
the doc wanted me to take a thyroid test
first. It was high! We waited 90 days
and reran it and it was normal....And my
periods went back to normal too. It was
an awful 6 months but thank god I am
regular again. I've always had heavy
cloting etc, and the older I got the worse
it became but still in the normal range in
terms of days.
Think very hard before doing anything that
is not necessary.

Has Any One Had Doen This Operation For Heavy Period Posted: 02-18-05 10:04am
If i'm in your place I will do it without
hesitation. Heavy period is terrible.
You never feel comfortable and it causes a
lot of problems in the future. My sister
had the same problem, sometimes her period
lasts for ten days she did that operation
and now she is o.K and satisfied.

Lolipop.. You posted this back in
november. And you were slated for the
surgery on dec 4th.
I'm curious (as i'm sure the women are
too) if this surgery went smoothly, if it
helped at all, and if you've had any
complications as a result?
