Can I have surgery to remove my uterus if I experience occasional heavy periods that I currently manage with Pause-MF, especially since I do not have thyroid issues or fibroids and do not want to use the Marina IUD?
While a hysterectomy (removing the uterus) is a definitive cure, it is a major surgery with significant recovery time. Because your occasional heavy bleeding is currently managed well with Pause-MF (tranexamic acid and mefenamic acid) and you have no fibroids, major surgery may not be the first recommendation. Since you wish to avoid the Mirena IUD, other less invasive options like endometrial ablation?which gently thins the uterine lining?might be excellent alternatives.
