What is the surgery that will help stop bleeding/menopause?

I have been bleeding since Aug. 27, 2007, and also did this last year for the same amount of time. Was wondering what could be done about it? I am really getting tired and was wondering if there is something that could be done like a pill or hormones? I am 51 years old and I have no desire to have any children.

You can supress your periods in many ways; you can have the seasonale pill and have periods every 3 months.
With the minipill or POP like cerazette, who is often used for brestfeeding women; you can have supression of your periods for all the time you take them.
You can also have a supression of periods by having the mirena IUD lots of women report no period at all while having it.
This is all I can think of, you must have a hormonal imbalance and consult your doctor, to be sure you don´t have something more serious.
And don´t worry, I think your period will go soon by itself.
Good luck! ;D
Birth control pills are often prescribed to control the bleeding.
if you go to a gynecologist im sure they can help you.

Hysterectomy is something of an option. Or so I’m told.

Hysterectomy is the surgical removal of a woman’s uterus. In some cases, the ovaries and fallopian tubes are also removed during a hysterectomy procedure. This is called a salpingo-oophorectomy.
There are three major types of hysterectomy:
Total hysterectomy is the surgical removal of the uterus and the cervix, which is the lower "neck" of the uterus that opens into the vagina.
Subtotal hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus, leaving the cervix in place. It is also known as "supracervical" or "partial" hysterectomy.
Radical hysterectomy is the removal of the uterus, cervix, ovaries, structures that support the uterus, and sometimes the lymph nodes. A radical hysterectomy may be done to treat endometriosis or cancer of the uterus, ovaries, or cervix.
Deciding whether to have a total or subtotal hysterectomy can be difficult. This is because research that compares the two is limited, and shows only small differences. Factors that are commonly considered include:
Recovery time. Subtotal hysterectomy typically has a quicker recovery time. This is because of lower risks of infection and damage to the urinary tract, and less blood loss than after a total hysterectomy.2
Cervical cancer risk. In the past, doctors recommended a total hysterectomy to eliminate the risk of cervical cancer. But cervical precancer is easily detected with a regular Pap test. (If you have your cervix removed as part of a hysterectomy, you no longer need Pap tests.) Cervical cancer is found in less than 0.1% of women after subtotal hysterectomy.2
Sexual well-being. A recent study reports that sexual well-being isn’t affected differently by a subtotal versus a total hysterectomy.5
Bladder and bowel function. One study reports that one year after hysterectomy, more women have urinary incontinence problems after a subtotal than after a total hysterectomy.5 Bowel function is not affected differently by a subtotal versus a total hysterectomy.2
Menstrual-like vaginal bleeding. After subtotal hysterectomy, up to 20% of women have bothersome cyclic bleeding if they have not reached menopause, or when taking hormone replacement therapy after menopause.5 This happens when cells that bleed with every menstrual cycle remain with the cervix after the uterus is removed.
When considering a hysterectomy, ask your health professional about other treatments for your condition, what hysterectomy options are available to you, and how well hysterectomy is likely to work for you. If you have a hysterectomy, the type of procedure you have will depend on the medical reason for the hysterectomy, the size and position of your uterus, and your general state of health.
Different hysterectomy procedures (how the uterus is removed) include:
Abdominal hysterectomy.
Vaginal hysterectomy.
Laparoscopically assisted vaginal hysterectomy (LAVH).
Laparoscopic supracervical hysterectomy (LSH).
Total laparoscopic hysterectomy (TLH
It’s probably uterine fibroids. Sometimes they can be reduced by having a curettage, other times more radical surgery is performed. Meantime make sure you are taking iron tablets.
at 51 I would expect you are either going through menopause or will be soon. The only thing that I know of medically that will cause no more peroids is major surgery and really with no medical reason you will be hard pressed to find a dr willing to perform a hysterectomy. You may also be a candidate for a procedure called an ablation, I know 2 women who have had this, both of them have not had a peroid since.
when you say you are tired, are you meaning physically? or just tired of bleeding? it may be that your iron is down and/or you are anemic.
Have you been to the dr’s at all for this? is he certain this is menstrual flow and that there is not anything more serious going on? if you have not been i advise a visit where he can run some tests and check out some things, like your iron leval, it may all be helpful to run a thyroid test at this point and make sure that your levals are within the normal range.
Good luck, I hate the simple 5 days I cannot imagine it for as long as you have been dealing with it.
