A member asked:
I had a mirena (levonorgestrel) coil fitted due to heavy prolonged periods 2 months ago i have only not bled for 1 week should i consider hysterectomy ?

Maybe or "Door#2": Door # 2 involves an alternative procedure called endometrial ablation which conserves the uterus in place, but in large percentage of cases works to abate or stop the bleeding in the absence of endometrial pathology or other causes.
