Successful pregnancy after microwave endometrial ablation: case report
Tóm tắt
We present details of a 39-year-old para 3 woman, who was treated with microwave endometrial ablation (MEA) for menorrhagia after previous failed medical treatments. She then presented at 8 weeks after the procedure and was confirmed to have an 8-week viable intrauterine pregnancy. She was counselled, but, based on the fact that there was no published literature about the effects of MEA on pregnancy, she decided to have a medical termination and she subsequently got pregnant again and had a healthy baby girl. There was no complication in pregnancy and delivery.
