I just had "Her Option" cryo ablation of my endometrial lining four days ago for heavy bleeding, cramps, anemia with my periods. I'd like to know if there are any other ladies out there who have had this procedure and their experience. Didi it work for you? Did it help with PMS too?

Anon - Here is what the manufacturer's website says about side effects:

Will there be any side effects?
May 5, 2010 - 5:11pmImmediately following the cryoablation treatment, some women feel cramping similar to a menstrual period. A mild medication like ibuprofen and a heating pad can help minimize your discomfort. You may also experience a watery discharge for up to three weeks following the treatment as the tissue heals. This is normal.

It's NOT normal to have a thick yellow discharge with odor. Please call your doctor's office again and insist that you be seen, or go to another doctor who will take your concerns seriously. Please let us know what happens. Pat

I'm almost at week 3 and still have tons of water coming out!!
You should not have a thick yellow discharge with odor......that means infection. Get to the Dr! It's supposed to be clear with possibe tissue pieces but no smell!
Wish you luck and let us know how it goes!

I was told the discharge can last over 3 weeks. Ugh! I am 11 days passed my procedure and still very crampy. Any of you that just had this done or have had it done awhile ago....do you or did you have little pieces of what I suppose is uterine tissue come out? I have little pieces here and there and it freaks me out!
I know that sounds gross, but want to make sure that is normal?! I can't wait to stop wearing pads. My gyn was right about one thing....the amount of fluid can be alarming!!

I'm the 8 months later gal - My discharge lasted about 2 weeks or so - doctor told me to expect 3 weeks and I know it was less than that. I kept thinking - did something go wrong because it was less... but nope, all good now. Good luck! Michele
