What are Some of the Endometrial Ablation Risks to be Aware of?
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios

Although endometrial ablation is a very safe and effective surgery, it does carry a variety of endometrial ablation risks that you need to be aware of before visiting your doctor for the operation. The procedure's risks range from the benign to the life threatening, but really depend on the type of treatment you are going to get. For example, actual endometrial ablation surgery is far riskier than the microwave version of the same procedure. However, because the actual surgery is far less practiced than microwave endometrial ablation, we will cover only risks associated with the microwave treatment.

Endometrial ablation using microwaves involves the use of a tool that emits large amounts of heat designed to burn away the lining of the womb on women who have especially heavy periods. Because of the high heat involved in the procedure, the most common endometrial ablation risks associated with this procedure involves burns to the womb, the cervix, or the vagina during the procedure. These burns, though, however severe, will subside in a few days - if they occur at all.

Another common risk involving the microwave procedure is damage to the womb itself. If you are a woman with thick lining but thin womb walls, you may be at higher risk of accidental womb perforation. This is very rare though, so do not use this risk factor as a gauge as to whether or not you should get the treatment.

Finally, many women suffer from heavy bleeding during the operation. While the microwaves are designed to ensure that there is a minimal amount of blood loss involved, there is still a risk of large amounts of bleeding and the possibility of infection. These are minor problems, however, and like most of the other endometrial ablation risks, they will go away a few days or weeks after the operation.
