Dear Ask,

I went to my OBGYN for Mennoragia, excessive bleeding, had an ultrasound and they think it is a polyp. I am scheduled to have a hysteroscopy and remove the polyp as well as a tubal ligation as I requested. My doctor suggested endometrial ablation. Although tempted I am wondering shouldn't I find out the results of the polyp or fibroid or whatever they find as they will be sending to pathology as a mtter of course just to make sure it is not cancer.

Wouldn't one want to know if cancer was present beforean endometrial ablation is performed. I would assume if it is cancer one would not perform an ablation.

Am I correct? Does this make any sense at all? Any suggetsions of how to proceed? Or questions I should ask my doctor before this surgery?

I think you have lots of un-answered questions you need to ask before having any kind of treatment... speak to your Doctor,he will be able to put your mind at rest concerning any worries you may have.
