Heavy periods cause major disruption to a woman's working and social life by causing embarrassment, tiredness, pain and anaemia. Management has come a very long way and it is no longer a case of hysterectomy for everyone. There are a variety of safe and effective treatments including Mirena®, Novasure® endometrial ablation and hysterectomy.

Anil will discuss the investigation and treatment options with you so that care can be tailored to your individual needs and requirements. Where a hysterectomy is considered, all the pros and cons are discussed including the options of preserving the cervix and the ovaries. The route of the hysterectomy is also discussed in detail (options include vaginally, laparoscopically and abdominally).
