Hi i have had a tubal ligation in 2012 but over the last year or so my monthly cycle has been increasing in severity. what is the recommended age for a hysterectomy or are there other options to stop the cycle altogether thank you?

Need Gyn evaluation : A careful Gyn evaluation (medical history, complete physical-gynecological exam, pelvic sonogram, Pap test...and perhaps blood test) should lead to a diagnostic cause of the "increasing severity of your monthly cycles" and hopefully its medical treatment. Quite a few options exist; and unless a clear surgical indication is found, a hysterectomy should be a last resort for abnormal uterine bleeding

Multiple options: There are multiple options for treating abnormally heavy menses common after tubal ligations based upon permanence or not. If anemia is a concern, then Rx options should begin earlier than later. Options include medications, endometrial ablation and definitive surgery. (hysterectomy). Contact a GYN MD and get examined and discuss the above options specific to your history and circumstances.
