A member asked:
What surgical options are there to stop my period? do any of them not require hormone treatment afterwards?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stopping period: The most obvious surgical option to stop cycles in endometrial ablation. This works in about half of people who have it done. Of course hysterectomy is an option, but an awfully serious one depending on the problem. Implanon and Mirena (levonorgestrel) are 2 hormonal options that usually stop a worman's cycles and are not surgical procedures at all. Discuss with your gynecologist.
