Nearly impossible but it just happened! Dilemmas in managing termination of pregnancy following endometrial ablation. Case Report

Abstract

Endometrial ablation is an effective method of managing heavy menstrual bleeding in women who no longer wish to become pregnant. In most cases, menstruation ceases and thus some patients may not continue with contraception. Pregnancy is possible though very rare (reported incidence (0.24 -0.7%). Most women elect to terminate such pregnancies. This brings into question which treatment to offer and what problems to anticipate.
