Hey guys!! First in a long long time, just at the end of my tether right now so thought i would reach out to people who get me!

I also have a question, has anyone had both ablation and excision surgeries? If so whats your view on it, which is better? I dont really know much about the differences as my gyne has never explored it with me, its just stuff ive read, but thinking about bringing it up at my next appointment. Any help is much appreciated!!! Thank you xx

Excision removes the tissue so that it won't come back whilist ablation 'burns' off the top part of tissue as it removing the full thing when it's excised.

Your gynae may not offer excision though.

Make sure to go on a hormonal method to stop you from cycling after so nothing grows back.
