Preparing questions in advance can help patients have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor or healthcare professional the following questions about endometrial ablation or resection:

1. What is the difference between endometrial ablation and resection?
   
   
2. Which procedure is best for me?
   
   
3. Are there other less invasive treatment options to stop my heavy bleeding?
   
   
4. If I want to have a baby, is there time to do so safely before having this procedure?
   
   
5. Is it possible to have a safe pregnancy after ablation or resection?
   
   
6. What are the risks of the different procedures? Is there much pain?
   
   
7. Will I no longer have my period? Does it cause early menopause?
   
   
8. What conditions rule out ablation and resection?
   
   
9. What is the recovery time? Will I have any restrictions?
   
   
10. Will this procedure prevent a hysterectomy in the future?
