Diya Miller, a 42-year-old high school...
Diya Miller, a 42-year-old high school English teacher and mother of two teenagers, had always had manageable periods. Over the last year, however, her cycles became wildly unpredictable. She experienced flooding, passing large clots, and bleeding for weeks at a time, forcing her to miss classes and cancel plans with her family. She felt exhausted, irritable, and anxious about leaving the house. Her OB-GYN, Dr. Lee, diagnosed her with dysfunctional uterine bleeding (DUB) likely due to perimenopause. After trying hormonal medication with little success, Dr. Lee recommended an endometrial ablation to thin the uterine lining. Diya was nervous but desperate for relief. The outpatient procedure was quick, and she went home the same day with mild cramping. After a few weeks of watery discharge, her bleeding reduced dramatically to light, predictable spotting. The constant fear of an 'accident' vanished. Diya felt a profound sense of relief and regained control over her life. She had the energy to teach and be present for her family again, her mood lifted, and she described feeling 'like myself for the first time in years.'
