Pregnancy following balloon thermal endometrial ablation

摘要

The need for contraception is a concern for both patients and their physicians after endometrial ablation. The reported pregnancy rate after endometrial ablation is quite low, quoted as approximately 0.7%. However, the rate may be significantly higher in younger ovulatory patients. We present a case of a patient who became pregnant following cave term endometrial ablation. Her pregnancy was complicated by recurrent exacerbation of asthma and chest infections and she required ITU admissions during pregnancy. She was delivered by emergency caesarean section after failed induction of Labour.
