I had an endometrial cryoblation performed almost a week ago. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced any depression after this procedure? I am tired of being sore and the watery discharge! I would appreciate anyone else's input.

Only you can determine what to expect over time, if it's the depression you're asking about.
If it's the physical side effects from the procedure you're asking about, how well your body heals will be the determination.
Have you discussed your concerns with your doctors?

The University of Michigan Medical Center and Medical College of Wisconsin both have online articles, and follow-up resources, related to this very question: depression after surgery or other medical procedures. It may be helpful to know that this is not an uncommon occurrence, not something to feel ashamed about, and most doctors are aware of depression, sadness, stress...anything on the continuum, beyond just the physical health of their patients. You are a whole person, and can be empowered to seek help for your mental and emotional well-being, not just your physical well-being!

Hang in there, and as Susan C said, the best person to help you identify the underlying causes of your depression is your medical doctor or other health provider. Depression, in any form, is treatable!
