Historically, women were left with very few options to treat heavy bleeding. Hysterectomies were performed much more routinely to try and remedy this. Today, there are many evolving treatment options available that don’t require hysterectomy. At AWS, we offer treatment options including targeted hormonal therapy, progesterone-containing IUDs, minimally-invasive surgery with hysteroscopy and uterine ablation.  Minimally-invasive surgical approaches to remove fibroids and perform hysterectomy can be offered when appropriate.
