Should i have a hysterectomy just cause i have horrible periods?


I had a tubal about six years ago and now I have horrible periods. It's hard to go anywhere because I clot so bad that sometimes even the overnight pads that I wear don't hold it. My options are to have laser surgery that is 1 out of 3 that it will work, a hysterectomy that will absolutely work, or don't do anything at all and deal with this for at least 15 or more years. Hysterectomy seems kind of drastic, but I want something that will work. I don't want to have to pay for two procedures.

I would go with the procedure with the best chances of success in your case, which is the hysterectomy. I agree it does sound drastic, but realistically do you want to spend 4-7 days a month for the next 15+ years as a prisoner of your uterus? That's what you would be if your periods keep you from leaving the house. Go for it, take care of yourself. It is the right choice in you case

I went through this too a while ago and I actually agree with the guys who answered this question already. I had an implant put in my arm (not an IUD exactly) that lasted 3 years. It is called Implanon but the one that lasts 5 years that was mentioned above sounds like a mirena. These are both birth control options but are also used to control problems like yours... you should really think about seeing your doctor about this before considering something as permanent as a hysterectomy.

a hysterectomy is absolutely the best way to get rid of it, because even without the pain (which i have bad) then it's still a horrible messy experience, but if you have all yr bits out then you can never have children? If you don't have any then you would probably regret and, and if even if you do, what if you want another later on?

I'm not sure if you are interested in birth control as well, but my wife had an IUD put in (which is an implant) after she had our first child and she hasn't had a period since. (plus it is 99.9% effective birth control). She has a 5-year IUD, but if we decide we want another child, it can be removed.

The procedure doesn't take long and it is an outpatient procedure. Ask your doctor about that option as well. (there are also 10-year IUDs.

I have period that last 8-11 days i have seen the doctor and she told me it is just my pattern.

My friend got a hysterectomy because of her periods but Had no children now she regrets it don't make the same mistake

No, take Pregnenolone 20 mg per day first.
