A member asked:
Please answer! what options are there other than getting a hysterectomy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: I cannot give a definite answer to this question because I don't know what is being treated. If you have a cancer in the uterus, a hysterectomy may be the best treatment. For bleeding there can be other options such as medical treatment and /or endometrial ablative procedures.
