Has anyone ever had the thermal ablation for treating fibroids?


I had a myo done 2 yrs. ago almost. and there baaaaaaack
So, instead of going thru another major operation again in less than 2 yrs. ago, am considering that fairly new treatment where you lay down, and the docs do this guided ultra sound "heating" ea. individual fibroid tumor
have you had this done or know of anyone who has?

I'm sure that SOMEONE has...
Although I have not had the procedure, I am a nurse that has been involved in many of them. From what I have seen, it has much success. Do you have children? Because I think the procedure also sterilizes you to some extent. If your Dr. agrees with this, & you have already had all the kids that you want, why not just opt for a hysterectomy? There would be no chance of the tumors returning then.

There is a new hysterectomy called a laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy that leaves your cervix in place. The healing time is quicker & the procedure is almost painless. This may be an option for you.
I had a NovaSure endometrial ablation about 5 weeks ago. I didn't have it done for removal of fibroids, rather to remove the lining before they form., also as an attempt at stopping years of horrible monthly cycles. I was completely put out for the entire procedure where they insert a device that has a mesh sack that conforms to the lining of the uterus and is then electrified, burning out the endometrium. I was sick and miserable for a day afterward, then pretty much back to normal (4 weeks of passing the burnt lining though- kinda like spotting) I noticed you said you have no children- everything I read about the procedure says it should only be used on women who are done bearing children- that is is almost impossible to bear children once the lining to the uterus is destroyed. check out the NovaSure website- it's really quite informative.
