Long term results from Her Option Uterine Cryoablation Therapy System

i have had this procedure done twice the second a little over a year ago. at that time i was taken down to zero lining. 4 months later i ended up in the er with severe abdominal pain the doctor on call gave me a shot of morphine and told me to suck it up it was mentrual cramping. needless to say less than a week later i was in the OR because my cervix got froze shut and i was backing up and had a infection wich i had to take antibiotics for. recently the past 4 months i have had massive migraines constant spotting and of course my gyno retired so i had to see a new one. he did not take time to look at my records just told me i was fine, it was normal. now after seeking a second opinion from a specialist my only option left is for a partial hysterectomy. i regret having the procedure done the second time it was suppose to prevent me ever having to have a hysterectomy. i feel like it was let down. i am 31 years old and feel the whole procedure was a big mistake. where i live we now have a support group there are actually 16 of us that have had this done 3 including myself are having hysterectomy's and 7 have already had one. the last 6 are also having problems and considering the same option we are or have had to make. has anyone else been through this as well

Hi ladies! I had my procedure done almost 6 years ago, it has been great. My periods are only 4-5 days and so much lighter. I'm only 34 now too. How ever I do get severe cramping now and terrible migraines. Not sure if its a side effect or part of my process. I dont regret it one bit! Just wanted to share.

I am 49 years old and had this done a few years ago. It's been AWESOME. I haven't had any periods nor side effects. I still have hormonal changes from menopause, but THANK GOD I don't have to deal with periods on top of it. Best thing I've ever done!

I had it done last day Dec 2009 I want to know if any women have gotten pelvic prolapse from her option mine was not successful .

I had her option procedure three month ago and The first two moth I was so good, no period or pain just heaven, but this month I am going crazy with really bad cramping for over a week, and heavy period. I also have to add the amount of weight getting . Is this
normal or should I call my doctor?

I am 47 years old and had my procedure done 13 months ago and I still have heavy bleeding (lasting 8 plus days) and really bad cramping. Could something have gone wrong or is there something else going on in my uterus? I so wish I would have chosen a hysterectomy instead. I chose the cryoablation in hopes that it would help slow down my cycle even just a little bit. I'm so tired of the heavy bleeding, cramping, etc. I understand that this procedure is/was not a cure all but I feel like nothing has changed.

I had this procedure 3 years ago due to heavy continuous periods. I do not remember any significant watery discharge, and my periods never went away. My migraines however became manageable and my fluid retention disappeared until this year. Currently, my periods are increasing in frequency and duration again. I am about to turn 41 and my hot flashes seem to have begun. If this pattern continues I will have to ask my dr what my options are. Many women I know have started hormone therapy since the cryo wasnt enough. I do not regret the procedure at all, I just wish it had worked for me completely.
