Long term results from Her Option Uterine Cryoablation Therapy System

I had cryoablation at the age of 53 because my periods were getting so heavy that it became a serious problem. It worked great for me. Initially, I didn't think that there was much of an improvement, but it seems that every cycle produces further decrease in bleeding. I went from being afraid to leave the bathroom to a simple, ordinary, carefree period. So glad I went through the procedure.

I had the cryoablation on September 10, 2012. So far the watery discharge and slight bloating and pain have been the side effects. I am anxious to see if I will no longer have any of the long heavy periods of the past.

I had the procedure done 01/2012. I'm still having periods. I thought they were gonna go away.

I am 42 and had Her Option done on 12/31, Happy New Year, due to a 3 month long period that started in late November. I had the typical watery discharge for 3 weeks after the procedure and needed to wear a pad everyday. My 1st period after the procedure started on 1/28 and as of today, 2/7, I have been bleeding for 11 days. My period was extremely heavy on 1/28 and has lightened a bit, but I am still going through 3-4 pads a day. Is this length of bleeding normal for the 1st period after the procedure? or does this mean it didn't work? I am tired of bleeding, which I have been doing since Thanksgiving with the exception of 3 weeks after the procedure. At my initial exam for the extreme bleeding, the dr. did an ultrasound and found no other problems with my reproductive organs but I was anemic due to the amount and length of bleeding. I am not able to take birth control pills because I smoke, and yes I am trying to quit. Are there any other options besides Her option, birth control and a hysterectomy? I am contacting my dr. today but wanted to get some research and opinions to arm myself with.

I had this done when iwas38. I'm now 42 and have only had a few issues but would not change my mind to have it done again. I was passing clots the size of golf balls hourly. My periods lasted for several weeks it was horrible. I was always tired.the problems I have had is about once or 5twice a year I have severe cramping that I miss one day of lying in bed curled into a ball waiting for it to pass. Then would spot a little then it would be gone the next morning was only sore. A continous pain on the right side . The dr gave me a pain killer that would get me thru that very odd day. He told me I could havea lite period or none at all. I do not have one except for that one day.

Hi, I am 39 and had this procedure about 3 years ago. Although my period has decreased from heavy and 8 days with spotting every day in between to a 3 to 4 day lighter period. I am happy about that, but I have had 1 issue that bugs me greatly! I realize after the procedure there is the watery discharge and odor, but mine has never fully gone away, espectially during my period. Its very embarrassing and uncomfortable. It does affect intimate moments with my husband and I since I just feel icky! I have talked to my doctor several times about this but he doesnt seem to have an answer for me. Now I am starting to go through irregular periods when all my life I have been very regular. My PMS mood swings are getting worse as well. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!!!!

I am having the procedure on Thursday and I am nervous about the pain...does it hurt bad?

I am 45 years old and had my cryoablation about 1 1/2 years ago and it has been great. Very light bleeding for about 3-4 days only now. The question I have is I am wondering if the procedure affects your hormones in any way? Since I have had the procedure I am on a constant but slow weight gain ....about 15 pounds so far and always seemed bloated in the lower belly. Was wondering if anyone had the same problem.
