Heavy periods: Three are many options to help you with heavy periods. At age 47 there is no reason to suffer with this problem. After your obgyn evaluates you for hormone abnormalities, endometrial hyperplasia, fibroids and polyps ask if you are a candidate for an endometrial ablation. This can be a great in office treatment option for many women.
