The endometrium is thickened & heterogeneous & measures 18 mm.  Both ovaries are normal in size. There is no evidence of any adnexal mass lesion.  There is no free fluid in the POD.

43 years old asian with a 19 yr old son (normal delivery).  Working as an office administrator. No history of any problems in my reproduction system and neither have I suffered from menstrual problems.  I have had D&C in Feb. 17 because of menorrhagia.  Had my period in March 25 then suffered from heavy bleeding again.  

Gyne advised hysterectomy but i would like to seek other alternative.  I read about the medicine Vitalzym.  Is is effective.Any side-effects?  Any other medicine alternative that I could take. What are the side effects of hysterectomy?

Summarized question: Are there non-surgical treatment options for uterine fibroids? What are the side effects of hysterectomy?
