Mudmucker, this is purely my own conjecture & I have no medical training whatsoever...

The Mayo Clinic web site says "Uterine (endometrial) polyps consist of areas in your uterus where the lining of the uterus (endometrium) becomes overgrown and forms a mass (polyp). Uterine polyps may attach to the interior of your uterus by a large base or a thin stalk and range in size from a few millimeters — the size of a sesame seed — to several centimeters — the size of a golf ball or larger."

So, I think that the polyps will need to come out, and the ablation would not be the procedure to do that.

On the other hand, if you have multiple or recurring polyps, then an ablation (after the current polyps are removed), sounds like a sensible way to prevent future recurrences. Ablation basically desroys the endometrial lining, and that would seem like it would prevent overgrowth into future polyps.

Just one person's speculation....

Silver - so glad to hear that your procedure went so smoothly. I remember having that same sense of "Can we do this tomorrow?" when I'd made the decision. Hope you'll get great results!
