Sara Khan is a 42-year-old high...
Sara Khan is a 42-year-old high school teacher and mother of two teenagers. For the past three years, her periods have become increasingly heavy and unpredictable, often causing her to miss work or leave early. She experiences severe cramping, passes large clots, and has developed iron-deficiency anemia, leaving her constantly fatigued. Her social life and ability to exercise have dwindled. After trying various hormonal pills with intolerable side effects, her gynecologist recommended an endometrial ablation. Sara was nervous but desperate for relief. The minimally invasive procedure was done in an outpatient clinic under light sedation. Recovery involved mild cramping and watery discharge for about a week. Six months later, Sara's periods are light and manageable. Her energy has returned, her anemia is resolved, and she feels back in control of her life. The emotional burden of planning her life around her period has lifted, bringing immense relief and a renewed sense of freedom.
