If you have had an endometrial ablation is a hysterectomy necessary?

A hysterectomy is not necessarily required after an endometrial ablation, as the two procedures serve different purposes. Endometrial ablation aims to destroy the uterine lining to reduce heavy menstrual bleeding, while a hysterectomy involves the removal of the uterus. However, if the underlying conditions causing heavy bleeding persist or if other complications arise, a hysterectomy may be considered. It's essential to discuss individual circumstances and treatment options with a healthcare provider.
