Sarah Khan, a 42-year-old high school...
Sarah Khan, a 42-year-old high school teacher and mother of two, had always experienced heavy periods, but over the past year, they had become debilitating. Her cycles lasted 8-10 days with severe cramping and flooding that forced her to miss work. She was chronically fatigued and anemic, despite iron supplements. Her gynecologist, after ruling out fibroids and hormonal issues via ultrasound and biopsy, diagnosed her with idiopathic menorrhagia. He recommended an endometrial ablation, explaining it would thin the uterine lining to significantly reduce or stop her bleeding. Sarah was nervous but desperate for relief. The outpatient procedure, using radiofrequency energy, was quick under mild sedation. She experienced mild cramping and watery discharge for a few weeks. Six months later, Sarah's periods are now light, manageable spots. Her energy has returned, and she no longer plans her life around her period. She feels a profound sense of freedom and regrets not seeking help sooner, now able to be fully present for her family and job.
