I am 54, and still have a menses. My problem is that it may stop for 2-3 months and then floods heavy for 2-3 days during the next cycle. I have 3 benign fibroid which my gyn doesn t monitor anymore, because she says they are not growing. This year my pap was negative. I AM ANEMIC. So, I have begun taking a iron tablets... However, there is no severe pain present during the menses and a hysterectomy is not needed. IN THE MEANTIME, BEFORE MENOPAUSE, WHAT DO I DO TO CONTROL THE HEAVY BLEEDING? A) HORMONAL THERAPY B) BIRTH CONTROL PILLS C) WAIT FOR MENOPAUSE???
