Should I request a partial hysterectomy?!
Question: Should I request a partial hysterectomy!?
I have always had a normal menstrual since I started my period (23 years ago)!. However, about a year ago I actually started missing periods (had tubal ligation a few years ago, so I'm not pregnant!. THEN, I started bleeding "old blood" (geez I'm starting to gross myself out here)!. Anyway, my gyn did a D & C at the end of June!. Thought that would fix everything!. Then I started bleeding again - thought it was a period, but it kept on going for three weeks!. Doc told me to come in and get a hormone shot!. Got the shot - Still bleeding for two more weeks!. Doc wants me to come in and get another hormone shot tomorrow!. I'm kind of leary about getting another shot, b/c I am almost 37 years old, (but a non-smoker with normal blood pressure)!. I honestly don't think that a second shot will work!. Should I request a partial hysterectomy (take out the uterus, leave the ovaries)!. The constant bleeding is causing some mild anemia (I take iron pills) and I think that it is making me more fatigued!. Please only genuine answers - I'm SO NOT IN THE MOOD for stupid answers!. Think of a woman on her period 24/7 for 8 months - don't mess with me! LOL!. Thanks!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Have they checked for fibroids or pre-cancerous growths [sorry if this freaks you out]!? This doesn't sound like a hormonal thing, it sounds very similar to the symptoms my mother suffered from fibroids!. She eventually solved it with a full hysterectomy [though a partial one would have also fixed the problem]!. With an issue like this, there's no way I could really tell you what YOU should do, just what I would suggest looking into!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
I am in nearly the same situation!.I've bled every day since last Dec!. I have weight related hormone problems,and should be on pills,but don't want to go to the Dr!. Imagine bleeding daily being preferable to going to the Dr's!.Ask about the Nova Sure procedure!.Do NOT ask for a hysterectomy!.That is an absolute last resort!.The Nova Sure procedure,which if I ever do go to the Dr!.,I'll be inquiring about,basically mildly sears the inside of the uterus so that bleeding is light!.Type it in to the search engine and read about it!.I don't know how to do a link or I would!.I read all about it on the Nova Sure site!.I'd heard about it yrs!. before as well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
