I'm a smoker, non-drinker, overweight but active and healthy. my periods are extremely painful, heavy and erratic. would a hysterectomy be an option?

AT 19?: Probably not the best option at your age unless its a last resort. It sounds like you need to see a gynecologist to see what is going on. Maybe PCO, maybe endometriosis. Need more information to know what will work. Even lupron (leuprolide) would be better than hysterectomy at age 19.
