How Can Abnormal Uterine Bleeding In A 41 Year Old Be Treated?
Diagnosis needs to be confirmed
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand the concerns.
Excessive and irregular bleeding between the age 40-45 years is mostly due to the endometrial or uterine lining dysfunction, due to hormonal disturbances.
However, an endometrial biopsy should be done to confirm the diagnosis.
Effective medical treatment in the form of progesterone hormones is available for this dysfunctional uterine bleeding.
Endometrial biopsy is also advocated to rule out any chances of endometrial carcinoma.
Removal of uterus is advocated if the medical management do not work or the patient is not willing for it.
You can consult your OBGYN specialist and discuss these issues so that a informed decision can be taken.
Hope you found the answer helpful.

Hysterectomy should be done
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
If all the medical management is failed, and you are constantly bleeding, then the removal of the uterus or hysterectomy is the only resort.
You can discuss with your OBGYN to prepare you for hysterectomy if the report of the hysteroscopy is negative for malignancy.
