I suffer with heavy painful periods. I can't take the pill because it makes me feel like a raging hormonal monster. Ive been given tranexcemic acid and this does reduce it a bit heaviness wise, but doesn't do anything about the painful cramps that often stop me in my tracks, and bring tears to my eyes. Painkillers seldom do much.
I have a telephone appointment on Wednesday to discuss the results of an ultrasound scan I had almost 2 weeks ago, at the point I was having it, the person doing the scan asked what the scan was for and mentioned that they couldnt see any fibroids or polyps that would be causing it.
Would I be allowed to ask the doctor if I can just have a hysterectomy?! I know it's extreme, I've had three children, I am 32 years old and I am sick of being in pain, and having to medicate myself in order to have a somewhat normal life! If I don't have the tranexcemic acid, my periods are heavy to the point that in the first few days of my period, I soak through a super plus tampon within around an hour. That's not acceptable is it?
I'm just so sick of feeling like this and just wish i could have my uterus removed. Sorry for the long post. If the formatting goes out the window it's cause I'm on mobile app.
