in a recent exam with my gynecologist he said my uterus is full and up high, I am 45 and have irregular menses, they start and stop and last 20 days sometimes, i never fill a pad or have a heavy, steady flow, i had a procedure almost 2yrs ago, where they burned my lining ( don t remember med term) and that seemed to slow my periods down, bu not stop them, and i have scar tissue on my cervix from having to have it stitched shut with 5 of my 6 pregnancy. I am scheduled for a hyste rectomy
