Hello Delilah, thanks for your query. I tend to relate with you and the excessive bleeding you've been having. Menorrhagia is caused by a lot of medical conditions and those are the things your primary and your Obgyn should look out for.
Hysterectomy may be the best option of treatment for you if you no longer want to have kids. They may also consider an intrauterine device. It's possible it's as a result of dysfunctional uterine bleeding but I'm of the opinion that more investigations should be carried out to determine the cause of the bleeding. Meanwhile, to prevent anemia as a result of the bleeding, you will have to take blood building supplements. I hope this helps you. Like I indicated, hysterectomy is actually dependent on if u still wanna have kids. Thanks, I hope this helps.
