Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The cramping and light period that you are having after an endometrial ablation is a normal finding. Such mild bleeding can persist in some cases for upto 4 weeks. This will gradually regularize to normal periods without any treatment.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.

Hi,
Thanks for consulting us.
To have light period after ablation is quite normal & expected. However, this sever pain after 4-5 months of the procedure is not normal. You MUST NOT ignore this.
Please have one trans-vaginal ultrasound & blood pregnancy test as soon as possible to rule out an ectopic pregnancy & get in touch with your Gynecologist.
Wish you good health.
Take care.
