im 35yrs old and had heavy periods since i can remember but these pass years they had gotten more heavier, they last for 7days straight the only good thing about it i don't get no cramps but i do have to miss work for a week cause they are so heavy. i been to my doctor already and had surgery to make them lighter, it work for about two months and than they got heavier again, my doctor suggested a Hysterectomy but i wanted to see if there was anything else maybe i can do to make my periods more lighter than a hysterectomy any suggested please..
Thanks.
Answer:
Birth control can make your periods lighter. A hysterectomy is drastic, but so is heavy bleeding and not being able to go to work.
There is also a prescription drug that your doctor can prescribe - Sodium Meclofenemate, which will decrease the blood flow.
Those are the only things of which I am aware.
However, if you've had an operation in order to try to decrease the amount of the flow, it would indicate that there may be an underlying problem (maybe fibroids or something else) causing your bleeding. If so, the aforementioned prescriptions may not be viable for you. Consult your doctor to be sure.
Best of Luck to you!
A hysterectomy is certainly a drastic step. You should definitely seek a second opinion.
However, if you want more information on hysterectomy, check out http://healthbase.wordpress.com/2007/04/...
