Also, I would appreciate any other input if you are a nurse or an OB or GYN or both. I have both conditions. And I have seen several doctors on this. I am considering having Endometrial Ablation. I don't really want a hysterectomy. And I don't really have any abnormalities or other issues that really warrant it. I have had all the blood work, pap smears and even a ultra sound. There are no other problems. I have been told by doctors and read some things that suggest that a lower altitude, warmer weather, and lower sea level will help this.
I have noticed when I travel down south, like Arizona or the bottom of Nevada or San Diego, that I have less problems. Just wondering if there is anything to this. We are considering moving down to Las Vegas because of it. I always feel better there and anywhere where its really hot or at least warmer.
Is this all in my head or is there something to this?
What other things can help to minimize symptoms, besides surgery and hormones? Natural!

Altitude can definitely affect it, that's why some people get nose bleeds in higher altitudes. The higher the altitude, the higher your blood pressure can go to regulate your body. The lower the altitude, things come back down. A friend of mine had ablation done and she is very happy with the results. Personally, I have both as well and have an appointment in the morning for final tests and to schedule my partial hysterectomy. I chose this method because ablation isn't a guarantee that you can't get pregnant, only that you won't carry. It also doesn't guarantee no bleeding. My friend had a period 3 months after having it done. I have been bleeding for almost 2 years almost non-stop and I'm over it. Hysterectomy is the best choice for me. Unfortunately, there are no natural remedies to cure this.

I had the Novasure endometrial ablation done in 2003 and it was the best move I've ever made. I still on occasion have ovulation pain, but no menstrual flow and that is like a piece of heaven here on earth. I didn't want to do the hysterectomy either, because I am still young and do not want to deal with hormones and things like that.
I pray that everything works out for you.

I had an ablation 1 year ago and I have not had a period or pain since.If you do not want an extended recovery it's the way to go. It is not fool proof though but chances are you will be happy you did.It is also best to have a d&c preformed prior to ablation.
