Is there a better alternative to uterine ablation?

My doctor is starting to talk about uterine ablation for me because of my prolonged period, and hormone therapy has not helped. I just did some research and learned that it's contraindicated for a woman like myself who still wants to have children. Is there an alternative that will allow me to have children in the future?

    i would ask him if there's something else you can do. i think there must be. sometimes doctor refuse to give you other options, like my old dermatologist who wouldn't give me the medication i needed to cure my acne. if they won't answer seek another opinion, and if another answer can't be found, you may have to reconsider that there isn't another option, but there are other ways to put children in your life.

    I did some research for you and found an informative link for you.

    The title of the link below is: "uterine ablation INSTEAD of hysterectomy for heavy bleeding"

    http://www.gynalternatives.com/ablation.htm

    so considering the OTHER option that's given, this certainly qualifies as a very serious case in which getting a 2nd or even a 3rd opinion is truly the right way to go. Especially after stating your concern with having children sometime in the future..

    So Please - Please read up on the information, empower yourself with knowledge - So you know What Questions to ask for one thing..

    For when you DO Get that 2nd or 3rd Physician's Opinion's and Options.

    May God be with you

    I would definitely seek a second opinion, and a third if necessary! A woman's ability to conceive and give birth is sacred; performing a procedure that would make it difficult or impossible to have children should be an option only when every other possible course of action has failed or when the woman's life is in danger. Some doctors, especially the "old school" docs, tend to overlook new and innovative methods.
